Question

1 point) Emissions of sulfur dioxide by industry set off chemical changes in the atmosphere that result in "acid rain". The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 0 to 14. Distilled water has pH 7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic, so acid rain is sometimes defined as rainfall with a pH below 5.0. The pH of rain at one location varies among rainy days according to a Normal distribution with mean 5.3 and standard deviation 0.59. What proportion of rainy days have rainfall with pH below 4.7? (Use Table A to find the proportion.)
