Question
  1. A small study (n=10) is designed to assess if there is an association between smoking in pregnancy and low birth weight. Low birth weight babies are those born less than 5.5 pounds.  The following data represent the birth weights, in pounds, of babies born to mothers who reported smoking in pregnancy and those who did not.

 

Mother smoked in pregnancy                   5.0            4.2       4.8       3.3            3.9

Mother did not smoke during pregnancy        5.1            4.9       5.3       5.4            4.6

 

Is there a significant difference in birth weights between mother who smoked during pregnancy and those who did not?  Apply the Mann Whitney U Test at a 5% level of significance.

 

Complete the table below.

Critical value U= ________

Smaller of U1 and U2 = ________

 

Based on comparing the Smaller of U1 and U2  to the Critical value which of the following is (are) true?

 

  1. There is significant evidence at alpha=0.05 to show that the populations of birth weights in mothers who smoked in pregnancy and those who did not are not equal.
  2. There is not significant evidence at alpha =0.05 to show that the populations of birth weights in mothers who smoked in pregnancy and those who did not are not equal. 
  3. There are not enough data points to reach a conclusion.
  4. The tied value makes the analysis suspect.
