Inorganic phosphorous is a naturally occurring element in all plants and animals, with concentrations increasing progressively up the food chain (fruit < vegetables < cereals < nuts < corpse). Geochemical surveys take soil samples to determine phosphorous content (in ppm, parts per million). A high phosphorous content may or may not indicate an ancient burial site, food storage site, or even a garbage dump. The Hill of Tara is a very important archaeological site in Ireland. It is by legend the seat of Ireland's ancient high kings†. Independent random samples from two regions in Tara gave the following phosphorous measurements (ppm). Assume the population distributions of phosphorous are mound-shaped and symmetric for these two regions.

Region I: x1; n1 = 12
540 810 790 790 340 800
890 860 820 640 970 720
Region II: x2; n2 = 16
750 870 700 810 965 350 895 850
635 955 710 890 520 650 280 993

(a) Use a calculator with mean and standard deviation keys to calculate x1, s1, x2, and s2. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

x1 =  ppm
s1 =  ppm
x2 =  ppm
s2 =  ppm


(b) Let μ1 be the population mean for x1 and let μ2 be the population mean for x2. Find a 99% confidence interval for μ1 − μ2. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

Arsenic is a compound naturally occurring in very low concentrations. Arsenic blood concentrations in healthy individuals are Normally distributed with mean 3.3 micrograms per deciliter (ug/dl) and standard deviation 1.5 μg/dl. Some areas are known to have naturally elevated concentrations of arsenic in the ground and water supplies. We take an SRS of 25 adults residing in an area that is possibly high-arsenic. The mean arsenic level of these 25 adults is 3.75 μg/dl. Is the arsenic concentration in individuals...
