A schoolteacher is worried that the concentration of dangerous, cancer-causing radon gas in her classroom is greater than the safe level of 4pCi/L. The school samples the air for 36 days and finds an average concentration of 4.4pCi/L with a standard deviation of 1pCi/L. The value of the test statistic is ___________.t35 = –2.40z = –2.40t35 = 2.40z = 2.40
5. A scientist believes the concentration of radon gas in the air is greater that the established safe level of 4pci or less. The scientist tests the composition for 36 days finding an average concentration of 4.4 pci with a sample standard deviation of 1 pci. a) In testing the scientist's belief, write the appropriate hypotheses: Ho: μ <= 4 Ha: b) What decision should be made? ___crit = α = __stat = pvalue =
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that is naturally released by rocks and soils and may concentrate in tightly closed houses. Since radon is slightly radioactive, there is some concern that it may be a health hazard. Radon detectors are sold to homeowners worried about this risk, but the detectors may be inaccurate. University researchers placed 30 radon detectors in a chamber where they were exposed to 105 picocuries per liter (pCi/l) of radon over 3 days. The sample average...
