A study of fox rabies in randomly selected 15 locations in southern Germany found that the mean number of cases of rabies in each location was 4.75 with a standard deviation of 2.82. In northern Germany, a second sample of 10 locations found that the mean number of cases was 3.93 with a standard deviation of 1.4. Does this information indicate that there is a difference in the mean number of cases of fox rabies between the two regions?

1. A study of 99 dental hygienists were found to have an exposure to mercury vapors at an average of 0.08 mg/m3 (σ=0.005) over a 10-hour work shift. The regulatory limit for mercury vapors is 0.05 mg/m3 over a 10-hour work shift. Preform a one-mean hypothesis test to see if the exposures of the dental hygienists are above that allowable by the regulatory limit. Make sure to follow all 4 steps. 2. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the information...
