Inorganic phosphorous is a naturally occurring element in all plants and animals, with concentrations increasing progressively up the food chain (fruit < vegetables < cereals < nuts < corpse). Geochemical surveys take soil samples to determine phosphorous content (in ppm, parts per million). A high phosphorous content may or may not indicate an ancient burial site, food storage site, or even a garbage dump. Independent random samples from two regions gave the following phosphorous measurements (in ppm). Assume the distribution of phosphorous is mound-shaped and symmetric for these two regions

A study measures the sorption rate of three different types of organic chemical solvents. These solvents are used to clean industrial-fabricated metal parts and
are potential hazardous waste. Independent samples of solvents from each type were tested and their sorption rates were recorded as a mole percentage.

Suppose that the sampled sorption rates for the three solvents came from a decidedly non-normal population, perform the hypothesis test to determine if there
is significant differences in the sorption rates of the 3 solvents. What is the proper conclusion to this test? Choose the capital letter corresponding to your
answer.
A. The sorption rates are just the same.

C. Aromatics and Esters have different sorption rates.
D. Chloroalkenes and Esters have same sorption rates.
E. None of the above
