Problem 1: Does the phase of the moon have any bearing on birthrate? Each of 226,107 births that occurred during a period encompassing 24 full lunar cycles was classified according to lunar phase. The data on the left shows the number of births that occurred during different cycle phase of the moon. State and test the appropriate hypothesis to answer the question posed as the beginning sentence of this exercise. Conduct the test at alpha equal to .05.

Answer the following questions:

a. State the null and alternate hypothesis of the test

b. The number of births in column C are the observed values. briefly described the approach you need to use to calculate expected births to perform the Chi-Square contrast

c. What is the conclusion, do you reject or accept the null (also be sure to address the questions on the Answer Sheet as well)
