Question
Periodically, the county Water Department tests the drinking water of homeowners for contaminants such as lead and copper. The lead and copper levels in water specimens collected in 1998 for a sample of 10 residents of a subdevelopment of the county are shown below.

| Lead (µg/L) | Copper (mg/L) |
|-------------|--------------|
| 2.9         | 0.133        |
| 0.2         | 0.774        |
| 5.1         | 0.214        |
| 4.2         | 0.671        |
| 5.5         | 0.444        |
| 1.2         | 0.234        |
| 0.3         | 0.357        |
| 1.3         | 0.761        |
| 4.9         | 0.176        |
| 1.7         | 0.888        |

(a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean lead level in water specimens of the subdevelopment.

\[ \boxed{\ \ \ } \leq \mu \leq \boxed{\ \ \ } \]

(b) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean copper level in water specimens of the subdevelopment.

\[ \boxed{\ \ \ } \leq \mu \leq \boxed{\ \ \ } \]
