Textbook Question
Chapter R, Problem 6.20RE
Cesareans Some people fear that differences in insurance coverage can affect health care decisions. A survey of several randomly selected hospitals found that 16.6% of 223 recent births in Vermont involved cesarean deliveries, compared to 18.8% of 186 births in New Hampshire. Is this evidence that the rates of cesarean births in the two states are different?
