Listed below are the lead concentrations in mug/g measured in different traditional medicines. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean lead concentration for all such medicines is less than 16 mug/g.
21.5 16.5 3 14.5 4.5 2.5 20.5 16.5 10 13.5
From given data first we find
sample mean is Xˉ=12.3 and the sample standard deviation is s = 7.01
and the sample size is n = 10
(5) Conclusion
It is concluded that the null hypothesis Ho is not rejected. Therefore, there is not enough evidence to claim that the population mean μ is less than 16, at the 0.01 significance level.
