Part 1
Most pregnancies are full​ term, but some are preterm​ (less than 37​ weeks). Of those that are​ preterm, they are classified as early​ (less than 34​ weeks) and late​ (34 to 36​ weeks).

The proportions of​ early/late preterm births are not the same for all age groups.
 
B.
H0​:
Age group and outcome are not independent.
HA​:
Age group and outcome are independent.
 
C.
H0​:
The proportions of​ early/late preterm births are not the same for all age groups.
HA​:
The proportions of​ early/late preterm births are the same for all age groups.

Part 2
Compute the
χ2
statistic.
 
χ2=enter your response here
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 3
Find the​ P-value.
 
​P-value=enter your response here
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 4
State the conclusion. Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
The​ P-value is greater than or equal to the level of​ significance,
α=0.01.
There is insufficient evidence to reject
H0
and conclude that age group and outcome are not independent.
 
B.
The​ P-value is less than the level of​ significance,
α=0.01.
There is sufficient evidence to reject
H0
and conclude that age group and outcome are independent.
 
C.
The​ P-value is less than the level of​ significance,
α=0.01.
There is insufficient evidence to reject
H0
and conclude the proportions of​ early/late preterm births are not the same for all age groups.
 
D.
The​ P-value is greater than or equal to the level of​ significance,
