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.

From the table given as above, it is found that the significance level is 3.8%, which falls in the acceptance
region. Therefore, the Null Hypothesis can be rejected. So, there is relationship between gender and the
satisfaction level and hospital should take care of that.

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.

There is a negative relationship between the mothers age and babys weight. If mothers age is more, the
babys weight is low. So, the hospital should focus more on taking care of the pregnant women whose age
are higher and should also educate the parents (cases in which mothers have a higher age) about the
measures and factors that can lead to the birth of healthier children.
