Many people believe that unusual behavior is more likely to occur during a full moon. As a test for empirical evidence to support this belief, suppose that you categorized the visits of new clients to a community health unit over a one-year period by lunar phases and found the following distribution of visits: Full moon 62, new moon 50, first quarter 60, and third quarter 56.
Answer the following questions:
1. What are the null and alternate hypotheses?
2. What are the expected values for each of the categories?
3. What is the chi-square obtained?
4. What is the critical value?
5. What is your statistical decision? Justify your answer.
6. What is your conclusion?

Cu(II) sulfate exists as a hydrate. It has many practical uses including use as a fungicide and pesticide. When mixed with chromium and arsenic it forms the wood preservative called CCA. CCA was used in pressure treated wood to protect wood from rotting due to insects and microbial agents. Because CCA-treated wood contains toxic heavy metals, its use has been discontinued for home use and children’s play sets.
A chemist is given a sample of the CuSO4 hydrate and asked to determine the empirical formula of it. The original sample weighed 42.75 g. After heating to remove the waters of hydration, the sample weighed 27.38 g. Determine the formula for this hydrate.
