WK 7: Hypothesis Testing a. The allowable concentration of acetone in drinking water is 0.05 mg/L. With 64 samples you measure an average of 0.045 mg/L with a sample standard deviation of 0.02 mg/L. Can you say at the 90% confidence level that the water meets an acceptable standard? How many samples would you need to meet the standard at 99% confidence assuming the standard deviation stays the same? b. There is a rumor that Fairway gets first choice and hence better produce than C-town. At Fairway you measure 40 navel oranges and find an average weight of 0.4 kg with a sample standard deviation of 0.08 kg. At C-town you measure 30 navel oranges and find an average weight of 0.37 kg with a sample standard deviation of 0.06 kg. Can you say at the 95% confidence level that the C-town oranges are smaller?

a. The allowable concentration of acetone in drinking water is 0.05 mg/L. With
64 samples you measure an average of 0.045 mg/L with a sample standard
deviation of 0.02 mg/L. Can you say at the 90% confidence level that the
water meets an acceptable standard? How many samples would you need to
the same?

b. There is a rumor that Fairway gets first choice and hence better produce than
C-town. At Fairway you measure 40 navel oranges and find an average
weight of 0.4 kg with a sample standard deviation of 0.08 kg. At C-town you
measure 30 navel oranges and find an average weight of 0.37 kg with a
sample standard deviation of 0.06 kg. Can you say at the 95% confidence
level that the C-town oranges are smaller?
c. Repeat the above analysis if both sample sizes are half as big.
