- 9. The number of births per woman in China is 1.6 down from 5.91 in 1966. This fertility rate has been attributed to the law passed in 1979 restricting births to one per woman. Suppose that a group of students studied whether or not the standard deviation of births per woman was greater than 0.75. They asked 50 women across China the number of births they had had. The results are shown in the following table. Does the students’ survey indicate that the standard deviation is greater than 0.75? Use α = 0.01. # of Births Frequency 0 5 1 30 2 10 3 5arrow_forward7.

(Two Samples) According to a survey, the mean price of gasoline in the United States was $1.20 per gallon in 1995 and $1.10 per gallon in 1994. (U.S. News & World Report, June 12, 1995). Suppose these means were based on random samples of 100 gasoline stations for 1995 and 120 gasoline stations for 1994. Also, assume that the sample standard deviations were $0.11 for 1995 and $0.10 for 1994. a. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the mean gasoline prices for 1995 & 1994. b.
