Question

Test a claim that the mean amount of lead in the air in U.S. cities is less than

0.035

microgram per cubic meter. It was found that the mean amount of lead in the air for the random sample of

U.S. cities is

0.038

microgram per cubic meter and the standard deviation is

0.071

microgram per cubic meter. At

α=0.05,

can the claim be supported? Complete parts (a) through (e) below. Assume the population is normally distributed.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
