At what age do babies learn to crawl? Does it take longer to learn in the winter when babies are often bundled in clothes that restrict their movement? Data were collected from parents who brought their babies into the University of Denver Infant Study Center to participate in one of a number of experiments between 1988 and 1991. Parents reported the birth month and the age at which their child was first able to creep or crawl a distance of 4 feet within 1 minute. The resulting data were grouped by month of birth: January, May, and September:
Crawling age is given in weeks. Assume the data represent three independent simple random samples, one from each of the three populations consisting of babies born in that particular month, and that the populations of crawling ages have Normal distributions. A partial ANOVA table is given below

What are the degrees of freedom for the groups term?
Which kind of graph or statistical data would be most useful in figuring out whether the initial characteristics of a study group are evenly distributed?
A) A bar chart
B) Descriptive statistic
C) A box-whisker plot
D) A flow chart
When is the chi squared statistic employed for hypothesis testing? When testing a hypothesis on a single population, be sure to include supporting assumptions and the test statistic. What standard must be met in order to reject the null hypothesis in both directional and non-directional tests? In each situation, how do you determine the p value?
