Periodically, the county Water Department tests the drinking water of homeowners for contaminants such as lead and copper. The lead and copper levels in water specimens collected in 1998 for a sample of 10 residents of a subdevelopement of the county are shown below. lead (μ g/L) copper (mg/L) 5.8 0.36 2.8 0.825 5.3 0.285 2.7 0.157 0.9 0.339 0.6 0.147 2 0.407 4 0.081 4.7 0.261 4.2 0.762 Round all values to at least four decimal places.

TOTAL MARKS: 25 QUESTION 3 (a) Periodically, the county council tests the drinking water of homeowners for contaminants such as lead. The lead levels in water specimens (ug/L) collected in 2017 for a sample of 12 residents of the county are shown below: 1.6, 3.3, 3.8, 0.7, 0.5, 1.3, 3.8, 4.2, 2.4, 2.9, 0.9, 3.5 (i) Calculate the sample mean and sample standard deviation for these measurements (ii) Construct the 99% confidence interval for the true mean μ using an...
5. An application of the distribution of sample meansPeople suffering from hypertension, heart disease, or kidney problems may need to limit their intakes of sodium. The public health departments in some U.S. states and Canadian provinces require community water systems to notify their customers if the sodium concentration in the drinking water exceeds a designated limit. In Connecticut, for example, the notification level is 28 mg/L (milligrams per liter).Suppose that over the course of a particular year the mean concentration...
One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with copper(II) chloride, which would react with slver nitrate solution like this: CuCl2(aq)+ 2 AgNO3(aq) 2 AgCl(s ) + Cu(NO),(aq) The chemist adds 30.0...
Analyses of drinking water samples for 100 homes in each of two different sections of a city gave the following means and standard deviations of lead levels (in parts per million): Section 1: n1 = 100, x¯1 = 34.1, s1 = 5.9, Section 2: n2 = 100, x¯2 = 36.0, s2 = 6.0. (a) Calculate the test statistic and its p-value to test for a difference in the two population means. Use the p-value to evaluate the statistical significance of...
One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 250. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3(aq) + 3 AgNO3(aq) → 3 AgCl(s) + Fe(NO3),(aq) The chemist adds...
