Math Problem Statement
Based on their records, a hospital claims that the proportion, p, of full-term babies born in the community that weigh more than 7 pounds is 44%. A pediatrician who works with several hospitals in the community would like to verify the hospital's claim. In a random sample of 210 babies born in the community, 99 weighed over 7 pounds. Is there enough evidence to reject the hospital's claim at the 0.05 level of significance?
