The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics records information on each new baby born, such as time and date of births, weight, and sex. On bit of information available from these data is the day of the week on which each baby was born. Under the proportional model, we would expect that babies should be born at the same frequency on all seven days of the week. But is this true? The following table lists the number of babies born on each day of the week in a random sample of 350 births.
