- One of the measurements used to determine the health of a person's lungs is the amount of air a person can exhale under force in one second. This is called forced expiratory volume in one second, and is abbreviated FEV,. Assume the mean FEV, for 10-year-old boys is 2.1 liters that the population standard deviation is o =0.2. A random sample of 53 10-year-old boys live in a community with high levels of ozone pollution are found to have a sample mean FEV, of 2.09 liters. Can you conclude that the mean FEV, in the high-pollution community differs from 2.1 liters? (A) Yes (B) Noarrow_forwardThe average labor charge for automobile mechanics is OMR 69 per hour.
