Cadmium,aheavymetal,istoxictoanimals. Mushrooms,however,areabletoabsorband accumulate cadmium at high concentrations. The Czech and Slovak governments have set a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.5 parts per million (ppm). M. Melgar et al. measured the cadmium levels in a random sample of the edible mushroom Boletus pinicola and published the results in a paper. Here are the data: 0.24 0.59 0.62 0.16 0.77 1.33 0.92 0.19 0.33 0.25 0.59 0.32 At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean cadmium level in Boletus pinicola mushrooms is greater than the government’s recommended level of 0.5 ppm? Assume that the population standard deviation of cadmium levels in Boletus pinicola mushrooms is 0.37 ppm (Note: The sum of the data is 6.31 ppm.)

A state agency requires a minimum of 5 parts per million (ppm) of dissolved oxygen in order for the oxygen content to be sufficient to support aquatic life. Six water specimens taken from a river at a specific location during the low-water season (July) gave readings of 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.1, 4.9, and 4.6 ppm of dissolved oxygen. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the dissolved oxygen content is less than 5 ppm? Test using a = 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

A county environmental agency suspects that the fish in a particular polluted lake have elevated mercury levels. To confirm that suspicion, five striped basses in that lake were caught and their tissues were tested for mercury. For the purpose of comparison, four striped basses in an unpolluted lake were also caught and tested. The fish tissue mercury levels in mg/kg are given below. Sample I(From Polluted Lake) 0.523 0.723 0.523 0.623 0.523 Sample II(From Unpolluted Lake) 0.323 0.223 0.523 0.323 0.000 (a) Construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference in the population means based on these data. (b) Test, at the 5% level of significance, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that fish in the polluted lake have elevated levels of mercury in their tissue.
The automated data collection system for a manufacturing process will record data for 25,000 parts per day. Assume that, when stable, a certain process will operate with a nonconformance rate of 37.6 NCPPM (nonconforming parts per million). If the nonconformance rate per day is to be monitored using a control chart, what type of chart would be used? Choose a P, U, or X-Bar/S Charts, and explain in a few words.
Cheek teeth of extinct primates. The characteristics of cheek teeth (e.g., molars) can provide anthropologists with information on the dietary habits of extinct mammals. The cheek teeth of an extinct primate species were the subject of research reported in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Vol. 142, 2010). A total of 18 cheek teeth extracted from skulls discovered in western Wyoming were analyzed. Researchers recorded the dentary depth of molars (in millimeters) for a sample of 18 cheek teeth extracted from skulls. These depth measurements are listed in the accompanying table. Anthropologists know that the mean dentary depth of molars in an extinct primate species— called Species A—is 15 millimeters. Is there evidence to indicate that the sample of 18 cheek teeth come from some other extinct primate species (i.e., some species other than Species A)? The data are given below (you will need to put it into a single column). You will need to calculate the sample…
Cadmium, a heavy metal, is toxic to animals. Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cadmium at high concentrations. The Czech and Slovak governments have set a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.5 part per million (ppm). M. Melgar et al. measured the cadmium levels in a random sample of the edible mushroom Boletus pinicola and published the results in the paper “Influence of Some Factors in Toxicity and Accumulation of Cd from Edible Wild Macrofungi in NW Spain” (Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Vol. B33(4), pp. 439–455). A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether the mean cadmium level in Boletus pinicola mushrooms is greater than the government’s recommended limit. Hypothesis tests are proposed. For each hypothesis test,a. determine the null hypothesis.b. determine the alternative hypothesis.c. classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed.
