4) You measure the concentration of
perchlorate (a byproduct of fireworks) in several water samples
taken from Lake Lanier 24 hours after the 4th of July
holiday and get the following results: 8.6, 8.4, 5.7, 6.6, 9.2,
3.1, and 7.2 ppb. The regulatory limit for perchlorate is 6.0 ppb
in water.
- Report the mean, standard deviation, relative standard
deviation, and the 95% confidence interval for the perchlorate
concentration. Are your measurements accurate and/or
precise? Show your
work
- Can you reject any of the values as an outlier?
