A researcher wonders whether younger mothers have babies that are significantly heavier or
lighter than the population average of μ 7.25 pounds. The researcher collects data from N
= 35 babies who were born to mothers between the ages of 16 and 18. The average weight
for these babies was M = 7.15 pounds (SD = .6 pounds).
Arsenic is toxic to humans and people can be exposed to it through contaminated drinking water,
food, dust, and soil. Scientists have devised a non-invasive way to measure a person's level of arsenic
poisoning: by examining toenail clippings. In a recent study, scientists measure the level of arsenic (in
mg/kg) in toenail clippings of 8 people who lived near a former arsenic mine in Great Britain. The
following levels are recorded.
0.8, 1.9, 2.7, 3.4, 3.9, 7.1, 11.9, 26.0
Below are the summary statistics of the data.

Suppose the 8 people examined were randomly sampled from residents near the former arsenic mine. Is
it legitimate to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean level of arsenic (in mg/kg) in toenail
clippings for residents near the former arsenic mine using a t-distribution? Explain briefly.
