In: Statistics and Probability
A sociologist wishes to see if it is true that for a
certain group of professional women, the average age at which they
have their first child is 28.6 years. A random sample of 36 women
is selected, and their ages at the birth of their first child are
recorded. At α = 0.05, does the evidence refute the sociologist’s
assertion?
Ages at birth 32   28   26  
33   35   34   29  
24   22   25   26  
28   28   34   33  
32   30   29   30  
27   33   34   28  
25   24   33   25  
37   35   33 34   36  
38   27   29   26
