A study done in 1997 showed that 4.2% of mothers smoked cigarettes during their pregnancy. An obstetrician feels that this
percentage is higher now. To test this, the obstetrician takes a sample of 200 mothers and finds that 10 of them smoked during
their pregnancy. Test the obstetrician's claim at the a=0.05 level of significance.

- Short Answer and SPSS K1. Oodles of Noodles, an artisanal noodle manufacturing company in Brooklyn, makes three kinds of handmade, organic, ethically sourced noodles; Thick, Medium and Thin. They are interested in determining which noodle people tend to prefer and which one has the best "mouth feel" as it is referred to in the food industry. They consult with you (as a statistical expert) to collect data from their consumers. You devise a pleasantness rating scale for the noodles with 1 being the most pleasant to 5 being the least pleasant (so that lower scores indicate better "mouth feel"). You randomly assign 60 individuals to one of three separate groups. Twenty individuals taste and rate the thick noodles, another twenty individuals rate the medium noodles, and another twenty individuals rate the thin noodles. The data for this question can be found in the file labeled "Noodles" on BB. (20 points) (FYI, I like thinner noodles, think Ramen or angel hair pasta, what about you?)
