Do the data show that there are more male children dying of poisoning than female children?

YES b) binomial for each? NO c) 2 samples independent? YES d) at least 5 on each side for both? YES 4) Test Stat Sample Stat 5(.5)/1830+.5(.5)/1830 = .126 / sqrt .25/1830 + .25/1830 = .126 / .017 = 7.412 5) Since our pvalue < a then we will fail to reject the Ho 6) we can conclude there is no difference between male and female children dying from poisoning 9.2.3 All Fresh Seafood is a wholesale fish company based on the east coast of the U.S. Catalina Offshore Products is a wholesale fish company based on the west coast of the U.S. Table #9.2.5 contains prices from both companies for specific fish types ("Seafood online," 2013) ("Buy sushi grade," 2013).
