Question
Arsenic in Rice Listed below are amounts of arsenic in samples of brown rice from three different states. The amounts are in micrograms of arsenic and all samples have the same serving size. The data are from the Food and Drug Administration. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the three samples are from populations with the same mean. Do the amounts of arsenic appear to be different in the different states? Given that the amounts of arsenic in the samples from Texas have the highest mean, can we conclude that brown rice from Texas poses the greatest health problem?

- To study how water pollution has affected fishery, a scientist randomly selected 8 lakes of Florida. For each lake, the level of mercury contamination in largemouth bass (mg/kg) and the amount of alkalinity (mg/L) in lake water are collected. Choose a statistical method and determine and test the correlation between alkalinity and largemouth bass mercury contamination. Choose a method and test whether the level of mercury contamination in largemouth bass follows a normal distribution.arrow_forwardAccording to a dietary study. high sodium in take may be related to ucers. stomach cancer. and migraine headaches. The human requirement for salt is only 220 milligrams per day. which is surpassed in most single servings of ready-to-eat cereals. If a random sample of 20 similar servings of a certain cereal has a mean sodium content of 244 milligrams and a standard devlation of 24.5 miligrams, does this suggest at 0.05 level of significance that the average sodlum content for a single serving of such cereal is greater than 220 milligrams?

Five years later, they sampled the lake to see if the distribution of fish had changed. Of the 500 fish in their sample, 62 were catfish, 108 were bass, 204 were bluegill, and 126 were pike. Use a Chi-Squared test to determine whether the distribution of fish in Lake Loomis had changed significantly over this five-year period. Based on the result, what conclusion should the Fish and Game Department reach? No excel, please.arrow_forward
- You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. According to the Vivino website, suppose the mean price for a bottle of red wine that scores 4.0 or higher on the Vivino Rating System is $32.48. A New England-based lifestyle magazine wants to determine if red wines of the same quality are less expensive in Providence, and it has collected prices for 65 randomly selected red wines of similar quality from wine stores throughout Providence. The mean and standard deviation for this sample are $30.15 and $12, respectively. (a) Develop appropriate hypotheses for a test to determine whether the sample data support the conclusion that the mean price in Providence for a bottle of red wine that scores 4.0 or higher on the Vivino Rating System is less than the population mean of $32.48.

The first row represents levels from 10 men who did not use the drug and the second row from 10 different men who did use the drug. If we want to test the claim that the mean level for all men who use the drug is less than the mean for all men who do not use it, what is the appropriate alternative hypothesis? The mean cholesterol level of males who take the medicine is higher than the mean cholesterol levels of men who do not take it. There is a significant difference between males who use the medicine and men who do not use the drug in terms of mean cholesterol levels. The mean cholesterol level of males who take the medicine is lower than the mean cholesterol levels of men who do not take it. There is no significant difference between males who use the medicine and men who do not use the drug in terms of mean cholesterol levels.arrow_forward
- A study was undertaken to see how accurate food labeling for calories on food that is considered reduced calorie. The group measured the amount of calories for each item of food and then found the percent difference between the measured and labeled amount of calories. The group also looked at food that was nationally advertised, regionally distributed, or locally prepared. Do the data indicate that at least one of the mean percent differences between the three groups is different from the others? The data summarized in the table below.
