1. Does Smoking while Pregnant Affect Babys Weight?

Null Hypothesis Babys Weight is not affected by Smoking While Pregnant.

From the above table, it is found that significance level of Smoking While Pregnant on Babys Weight is
73.4%, which lies outside the rejection region. Therefore, the null hypothesis cannot be rejected, which
shows that Babys Weight is not affected by Smoking While Pregnant.
The hospitals should take off smoking from the rating list of factors that affect the babys weight.
2. Is there a relationship between Gender and Satisfaction Level?
Null Hypothesis There is no relationship between Gender and Satisfaction Level.

a. Dependent Variable: baby_weight

Since, the significance level is 69.7% which is above the 5%. Therefore, the H1 will not be rejected.
There is a negative relationship between the fathers age and babys weight. If
fathers age is more the babys weight is low. So, the hospital should focus more on
taking care of the pregnant women whose husbands have higher age and should
also educate the parents (cases in which fathers have a higher age) about the
measures and factors that can lead to the birth of healthier children.
