Cadmium, a heavy metal, is toxic to animals. Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cadmium at high concentrations. A government set a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.5 parts per million (ppm). The cadmium levels in a random sample of one species of edible mushroom are in the accompanying data set. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean cadmium level in this species of mushroom is greater than the government's recommended limit of 0.5 ppm? Assume that the population standard deviation of cadmium levels in this species of mushroom is 0.39 ppm. Preliminary data analyses indicate that applying the z-test is reasonable. (Note: The sum of the data is 6.76 ppm.)
State the hypotheses for the one-mean z-test.

- A researcher wishes to determine whether the blood pressure of vegetarians is, on average, lower than the blood pressure of nonvegetarians. Independent simple random samples of 85 vegetarians and 75 nonvegetarians yielded the following sample statistics for systolic blood pressure.

- The discharge of industrial wastewater into rivers affects water quality. To assess the effect of a particular power plant on water quality, 24 water specimens were taken 16 km upstream and 4 km downstream of the plant. Alkalinity (mg/L) was determined for each specimen, re- sulting in the summary quantities in the accompanying table. Do the data suggest that the true mean alkalinity is higher downstream than upstream by more than 50 mg/L? Use a .05 significance level.
