A study done in 1997 showed that 4.7% of mothers smoked cigarettes during their pregnancy. An obstetrician feels that this
percentage is higher now. To test this, the obstetrician takes a sample of 150 mothers and finds that 9 of them smoked during
their pregnancy. Test the obstetrician's claim at the a=0.05 level of significance.

- Investigators are trying to determine if the contamination of a town well led to significant increases in adverse health effects. During the period of time when water was consumed from this contaminated well, there were 16 birth defects among 414 births. After this well was shut off, there were 3 birth defects among 228 births. You asked to determine if the rate of birth defects was higher when the contaminated well was in use. a. Test the claim that the contaminated well was not associated with a change in the rate of birth defects in the community at the alpha = 0.05 level, by using the two-proportion z test. Confirm your answers using Stata. b. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the proportions of birth defects when the contaminated well was in use versus when the well was shut down. c.

Oodles of Noodles, an artisanal noodle manufacturing company in Brooklyn, makes three kinds of handmade, organic, ethically sourced noodles; Thick, Medium and Thin. They are interested in determining which noodle people tend to prefer and which one has the best "mouth feel" as it is referred to in the food industry. They consult with you (as a statistical expert) to collect data from their consumers. You devise a pleasantness rating scale for the noodles with 1 being the most pleasant to 5 being the least pleasant (so that lower scores indicate better "mouth feel"). You randomly assign 60 individuals to one of three separate groups. Twenty individuals taste and rate the thick noodles, another twenty individuals rate the medium noodles, and another twenty individuals rate the thin noodles. The data for this question can be found in the file labeled "Noodles" on BB. (20 points) (FYI, I like thinner noodles, think Ramen or angel hair pasta, what about you?)
