Suppose a random sample of 100 Malay male live
births delivered at NUH gave a sample mean
weight of 3.5kg with an sd of 0.9kg
Question of interest: What is the likelihood that
the mean birth weight from the sample population
(all Malay male live birth delivered at NUH) is the
same as the mean birth weight of all Malay male
live births in the general population, after taking
sample error into consideration?
