Identify each activity, a to f, as an observation (O), a hypothesis (H), an experiment (E), or a conclusion (C).
Lucia wants to develop a proces for dyeing shirts so that the color will not fade when the shirt is washed. She proceeds with the following activities:
- Lucia notices that the dye in a design fades when the shirt is washed.
- Lucia decides that the dye needs something to help it combine with the fabric.
- She places a spot of dye on each of four shirts and then places each one separetly in water, salt water, vinegar, and baking soda and water.
- After one hour, all the shirts are removed and washed with a detergent.
- Lucia notices that the dye had faded on the shirts in water, salt water, and baking soda, whereas the dye did not fade on the shirt in vinegar.
- Lucia thinks that the vinegat binds with the dye so it does not fade when the shirt is washed.

A study is being performed to see if there is a correlation between the
concentration of chromium in the blood and a suspected disease. Blood
samples from a group of volunteers with history of the disease are analyzed
and compared with the results from the healthy control subjects. From the
following results (Table 1), determine whether the differences between the two
groups can be ascribed as chance or whether they are real at 95% confident
level.

By law, the concentration of TCE must be 1 mg/L or less. To enforce this law, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) conducts random testing. The chief environmental engineer for the chemical company knows that the mean TCE concentration in the waste is 0.064 mg/L, and the standard deviation is 0.022 mg/L. The TCE concentration can be assumed to be a normal random variable. What is the probability that the company will fail a random test by the DEC? [In other words, the probability that a random sample will have TCE > 0.1 mg/L.] Show your work and draw a labeled sketch to show what area of the normal distribution curve you used to solve the problem. What is the probability that the company will fail two consecutive random tests? The tests can be assumed to be independent of each other. Show your work.
