Question: The following data are the number of surviving children of females of age > 50 in two different villages in Northwest Papua New Guinea. Assume that the two sets of data are independent from each other and that the populations that the data are sampled from follow normal distributions.

Village 1 Village 2
4 4
3 8
2 10
5 5
1 1
0 0
7 3
8 6
4 9

a) Do females from village 1 tend to have less surviving children than females from village 2? Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test and use alpha = 0.05.

b) Compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of surviving children of females from village 1. What do you find?

c) Conduct a test to see if the mean number of surviving children that the females from village 2 have is different than 6. Use alpha = 0.05. What do you find?
