Royal baby born: It's a boy
LONDON – A royal baby boy was born Monday to Prince William and his
wife, the former Kate Middleton, after weeks of anticipation and
excitement among fans of the royal family over the arrival of a new heir
to the British throne.
The child was born at 4:24 p.m. London time, about 10½ hours after
Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, entered St. Mary’s Hospital in
central London in the early stages of labor. Palace officials said the
infant weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces.
Barring tragedy – or revolution – he is destined one day to reign over
Britain and the 15 other nations, including Australia and Canada, that
recognize the British monarch as head of state. The child takes his
place in the line of succession behind the heir apparent and his
grandfather, Prince Charles, and father, William.
The GCP event was set for 6 hours beginning at 4:00 pm London time
(15:00 to 21:00 UTC). The result is Chisquare
21855 on 21600 df, for p = 0.110 and Z = 1.227
It is important to keep in mind that we have only a tiny
statistical effect, so that it is always hard to distinguish
signal from noise. This means that every "success" might be
largely driven by chance, and every "null" might include a real
signal overwhelmed by noise. In the long run, a real effect can
be identified only by patiently accumulating replications of
similar analyses.
