Smoking Status Birth Weight of Infants (Pounds) : Groups Count Sum Average Variance

This document contains data on birth weights of infants from mothers in different smoking categories: non-smokers, ex-smokers, those smoking less than half a pack per day, and those smoking half a pack or more per day. An ANOVA analysis found a statistically significant difference in average birth weights between the smoking groups, with non-smokers averaging the highest birth weights and those smoking half a pack or more averaging the lowest.
