A medical study looked at the factors that impact birth weight. The variable Visit Doctor indicated whether a woman visited a physician during the first trimester of her pregnancy. The variable Low Weight indicated whether a baby was born weighing under 2500 grams. Assuming that this sample is representative, answer the following probability questions. Low Weight Visit Doctor No Yes Total No 64 36 100 Yes 66 23 89 Total 130 59 189 1. What is the probability of randomly selecting a woman who had a low weight baby given that she had visited the doctor in the first trimester? 2. What is the probability of randomly selecting a woman who had a low weight baby given that she had not visited the doctor in the first trimester? 3. Using the probabilities that you have computed in (1) and (2) to answer the question, "Does visiting the doctor in the first trimester increase or decrease your risk of having a baby with a low birth weight?"
