Information: An Ob/Gyn collected data on the smoking status of the mother during pregnancy, and whether the child was born premature (37 weeks or fewer of gestation). The results were as follows:

		Pre-mature birth status
		Cases	Non-cases	Total
Smoking Status during Pregnancy	Smoked	36	370	406
Smoking Status during Pregnancy	Never smoked	168	3396	3564
	Total	204	3766	3970

(1) Calculate and interpret the odds ratio to determine if smoking throughout pregnancy is related to premature birth. (2 pts)

2) Do these data provide sufficient evidence to indicate, at the .05 level of significance, that the there is an association between smoking throughout pregnancy and premature birth? (4 pts)

Note: calculate expected values

A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between maternal smoking during pregnancy and the presence of congenital malformations in the child. Among children who suffer from an abnormality other than Down’s syndrome or an oral cleft, 32.8% have mothers who smoked during pregnancy. You wish to determine if this proportion is the same for those children born with an oral cleft. In a random sample of 27 infants with an oral cleft, 15 had mothers who smoked during pregnancy....

Is smoking during pregnancy associated with premature births? To investigate this question, researchers selected a random sample of 111 pregnant women who were smokers. The average pregnancy length for this sample of smokers was 262 days. From a large body of research, it is known that length of human pregnancy has a standard deviation of 16 days. The researchers assume that smoking does not affect the variability in pregnancy length. Find the 99% confidence interval to estimate the length of...
