and you don't know if you need to do any statistical analysis to determine the association. Before giving a definitive answer, I would need to see the data and possibly run some tests to determine the presence of an association between sex of the infant and systolic blood pressure. It is important to always approach scientific questions with caution and thorough analysis to ensure accurate results.
