text_A: For infants with nonsmoking mothers and low infant birth weight, the probability of high infant mortality is 48%. For infants with nonsmoking mothers and normal infant birth weight, the probability of high infant mortality is 72%. For infants with smoking mothers and low infant birth weight, the probability of high infant mortality is 16%. For infants with smoking mothers and normal infant birth weight, the probability of high infant mortality is 37%. For infants with nonsmoking mothers and with poor health, the probability of normal infant birth weight is 52%. For infants with nonsmoking mothers and with good health, the probability of normal infant birth weight is 26%. For infants with smoking mothers and with poor health, the probability of normal infant birth weight is 78%. For infants with smoking mothers and with good health, the probability of normal infant birth weight is 57%. The overall probability of good health is 1%.
text_B: If we disregard the mediation effect through infant's birth weight, would maternal smoking status negatively affect infant mortality?
yes.
