Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water.t 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 36 tests gave a sample mean of x = 6.7 ppb arsenic, with s = 3.0 ppb. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic
in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use a = 0.01.

After installation of cameras, speeds averaged 67 mph. A paired samples t-test comparing the average speeds yielded a t-statistic of 1.02. Remember, the critical value at p=.05 is 1.96. Assuming our data meet the requirements for conducting a t-test, what can we conclude? There is less than a 5% chance that we would have observed this average difference if there really wasn't a difference in average speeds before and after the camera was installed. We cannot draw any conclusions because we should have used an independent samples t-test. We cannot draw any conclusions because we should have used a one-sample t-test. We cannot draw any conclusions becaue the p-value is not reported. We cannot draw any conclusions because the standard deviation was not reported. We do not have enough information to draw any conclusions.arrow_forwardA previous study showed that the average number of sticks of gum that someone who often uses gum was 8 sticks per day.
