The concentration of benzene was measured in units of milligrams per liter for a smiple random sample of 10 specimans of untreated wastewater produced at a gas field. The sample had an average of 7.15 with a standard deviation of 1.01. Another simple random sample of 6 specimans of treated wastewater had an average of 3.1 with a standard deviation of 1.65. It has been confirmed that both samples come from a normal distribution. Can you conclude that the true average benzene concentration is less in the treated water than in the untreated water? Use a 1% significance to decide.

Contaminated water: The concentration of benzene was measured in units of milligrams per liter for a simple random sample of five specimens of untreated wastewater produced at a gas field. The sample mean was 7.8 with a sample standard deviation of 3.1. Seven specimens of treated wastewater had an average benzene concentration of 3.7 with a standard deviation of 2.5. It is reasonable to assume that both samples come from populations that are approximately normal. Can you conclude that the...

A study was conducted by the Department of Zoology at the Virginia Tech to estimate the difference in the amount of the chemical orthophosphorus measured at two different stations on the James River. Orthophosphorus was measured in milligrams per liter.

A study was conducted by the Department of Zoology at the Virginia Tech to estimate the difference in the amount of the chemical orthophosphorus measured at two different stations on the James River. Orthophosphorus was measured in milligrams per liter. Fifteen Specimens were collected from station 1, and 12 specimens were obtained from station 2. The 15 specimens from station 1 had and an average orthophosphorus content of 3.84 milligrams per liter and a standard deviation of 3.07 milligrams per...

An adult male, 150 pounds, consumes water contaminated with 1 milligrams of DDT per liter for three years at a rate of two liters per day. Assuming the man does not receive any does of DDT other than this, by how much is this amount (the average daily intake accumulated in those three years) above the life-time safety exposure limit of 0.02mg/kg body weight? Also, given this scenario would the ADI life-time safety exposure limit be an appropriate measure of...
