50 Having a baby in a US hospital costs $2628, on average, with a standard deviation of $456. Active management of labor (AML) is a group of interventions designed to help reduce the length of labor and the rate of cesarean deliveries. Physicians were interested in determining whether AML would reduce the cost for delivery. So they researched the cost of 200 AML deliveries and found a mean cost of $2498. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, on average, AML reduces the cost of having a baby in the US hospitals? )( Assume the population is a Normal Population.)

a) Normal z scores b) T - scores c) C - scores d) r scores
