Question
Currently patrons at the library speak at an average of 64 decibels. Will this average change after the installation of a new computer plug in station? After the plug in station was built, the librarian randomly recorded 69 people speaking at the library. Their average decibel level was 61.7 and their standard deviation was 6. What can be concluded at the α = 0.05 level of significance?

- Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water.† A mean arsenic level of μ = 8.3 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Texas is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 41 tests gave a sample mean of x = 7.3 ppb arsenic, with s = 2.4 ppb. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8.3 ppb? Use ? = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance?
