28. Fathers in the Delivery Room On average, 79% of American fathers are in the delivery room when their children are born. A physician’s assistant surveyed 300 randomly selected first-time fathers to determine if they had been in the delivery room when their children were born. The results are shown here. At α = 0.05, is there enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportions of those who were in the delivery room at the time of birth are the same?
