The following data were collected in an experiment designed to investigate the impact of different positions of the mother on fetal heart rate. Fetal heart rate is measured by ultrasound in beats per minute. The study included 20 women who were assigned to one position and had the fetal heart rate measured in that position. Each woman was between 28-32 weeks gestation. The data are shown below.

Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Write out the appropriate null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis calculate and report the appropriate test statistic. Please show your work. decide to either fail to reject null hypothesis or reject null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis and describe the result and the statistical conclusion in an understandable way.
