Thirty-two 1-Liter specimens of water were drawn from the water supply for a city and the concentration of lead in the specimen was measured. The average level of lead was 7.3 µg/Liter, and the standard deviation for the sample was 3.1 µg/Liter. Using a significance level of 0.05, do we have evidence the mean concentration of lead in the city’s water supply is less than 10 µg/Liter? Find:

The t critical value ?

If the true mean equals the null mean the probability the test statistic value will be less than the t critical value is ?

Our test result cannot be

(a) A correct decision

(b) a Type I error

(c) a Type II error

IF given below are some possible values for the true mean (given in units of µg/Liter). Which value will give the LARGEST probability of a Type II error?

(a) 7.2 (b) 8.6 (c) 9.4 (d) 11.3

IF given below are some possible values for the true mean (given in units of µg/Liter). Which value will give the SMALLEST probability of a Type II error?

(a) 7.2 (b) 8.6 (c) 9.4 (d) 11.3

Contaminated water: In a sample of 42 water specimens taken from a construction site, 26 contained detectable levels of lead. Part 1 of 3 Your Answer is correct (a) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead. Round the answer to at least three decimal places. A 90% confidence interval for the proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead is 0.497<<p0.743 . Part: 1 / 3 1 of...

Two random samples of 40 students were drawn independently from two populations of students. Assume their aptitude tests are normally distributed (total points = 100). The following statistics regarding their scores in an aptitude test were obtained: xbar1= 76, s1 = 8, xbar2 = 72, and s2 = 6.5. Test at the 5% significance level to determine whether we can infer that the two population means differ. (Note: You cannot necessarily assume that the populations have the same variances). Please...

1.Water samples were taken from water used for cooling as it was being discharged from a power plant into a river. It has been determined that as long as the mean temperature of the discharged water is at most 150 F, there will be no negative impact on the river's ecosystem. To investigate whether a plant is in compliance with regulations that prohibit a mean discharge water temperature above 150 F, researchers took 50 water samples at randomly selected times...
