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
