Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground watert. A mean arsenic level of u- 8.0 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Texas is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 41 tests gave a sample mean of x = 6.9 ppb arsenic, withs- 2.7 ppb. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use a = 0.01.

Hi can you correct the wrong answers

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
-2.577 X
(c) Estimate the P-value.
O P-value > 0.250
O 0.125 < P-value < 0.250
O 0.050 < P-value < 0.125
O 0.025 < P-value < 0.050
O 0.005 < P-value < 0.025
O P-value < 0.005
Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.
