Question

Transcribed Image Text:A random sample of 815 births included 434 boys. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that 50.6% of newborn babies are boys.
Do the results support the belief that 50.6% of newborn babies are boys?
O A. The results do not support the belief that 50.6% of newborn babies are boys because there was sufficient evidence to show that the belief is
untrue.
O B. The results support the belief that 50.6% of newborn babies are boys because there was no evidence to show that the belief is untrue.
O C. The results support the belief that 50.6% of newborn babies are boys because there was sufficient evidence to show that the belief is true.
O D. The results do not support the belief that 50.6% of newborn babies are boys; the results merely show that there is not strong evidence against
the rate of 50.6%.
