[The geographical distribution of fertility around Mexico City]
Abstract:
A spatial analysis of fertility around Mexico City reveals an "inverted U" pattern which appears, on the face of it, inconsistent with both conventional economic location analysis and a spatial diffusion process. A closer examination of the problem implies that economic variables, when integrated in a proper model, may account for the observed cross- sectional spatial pattern, whereas pure diffusion can not. Spatial diffusion, however, may be responsible at least in part for the observed fertility changes over time. The geographical patterns of fertility in 2 states neighboring Mexico City (Mexico and Hidalgo) are examined empirically. The interpretation of the nonmonotonic distance effect is that there are significant locational advantages to childbearing at medium distances that are not enjoyed at households location either very close or far away from the city.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
