QUESTION FOUR: The average birthweight of babies born in a rural facility is 2100g and 2600g for those born at an urban facility. Data was obtained from a sample of 8 and 10 babies from the rural and urban facility respectively with standard deviations of 380 and 120g respectively. Assuming the populations are normally distributed, can it be concluded that the average birthweight of babies born in the facilities is different with 95% confidence?
