Weight Loss of Newborns An obstetrician read that a newborn baby loses on average 7 ounces in the first two days of his or her life. He feels that in the hospital where he works, the average weight loss of a newborn baby is less than 7 ounces. A random sample of 31 newborn babies has a mean weight loss of 6.4 ounces. The population standard deviation is 1.6 ounces. Is there enough evidence at =α0.10 to support his claim? Assume that the variable is normally distributed. Use the critical value method with tables.
