11.16 An experiment was conducted to observe the effect of an increase in temperature on the potency of an antibiotic. Three 1-ounce portions of the antibiotic were stored for equal lengths of time at each of the following Fahrenheit temperatures: 30°, 50°, 70°, and 90°. The potency readings observed at the end of the experimental period were as shown in the following table.

Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water.t A mean arsenic level of u = 8.0 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 36 tests gave a sample mean of x = 6.7 ppb arsenic, with s = 3.0 ppb. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic
in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use a = 0.01.

- A study of runoff water from a manufacturing plant was made. Included in the study were pH measurements for six water specimens: 5.9, 5.0, 6.5, 5.6, 5.9, 6.5. Assume that these are a random sample of water specimens from a normal population. A 98% prediction interval for a pH of a single specimen is closest toarrow_forwardTwo random samples of 32 individuals were chosen. The average breathing rate of the first sample was 21 breaths per minute after jogging for twenty minutes, and the average breathing rate of the second sample was 19 breaths per minute after walking for twenty minutes. If the population standard deviation is 4.2 breaths per minute for jogging and 4.5 breaths per minute for walking, test the claim that the breathing rate for jogging is more than the breathing rate for walking. Assume a = 0.055. Let the breathing rates of joggers represent population 1 and the breathing rate of walkers represent population 2. a.)
