Fluid inclusions are microscopic volumes of fluid that are trapped in rock during rock
formation. The article "Fluid Inclusion Study of Metamorphic Gold-Quartz Veins in
Northwestern Nevada, U.S.A.: Characteristics of Tectonically Induced Fluid" (S. Cheong,
Geosciences Journal, 2002:103-115) describes the geochemical properties of fluid
inclusions in several different veins in northwest Nevada. The following table presents data
on the maximum salinity (% NaCi by weight) of inclusions in several rock samples from
several areas.

The article “Wastewater Treatment Sludge as a Raw Material for the Production of Bacillus thuringiensis Based Biopesticides” (M. Tirado Montiel, R. Tyagi, and J. Valero, Water Research, 2001:3807–3816) presents measurements of total solids, in g/L, for seven sludge specimens. The results (rounded to the nearest gram) are 20, 5, 25, 43, 24, 21, and 32. Assume the distribution of total solids is approximately symmetric. a) Can you conclude that the mean concentration of total solids is greater than 14 g/L? Compute the appropriate test statistic and find the P-value. b) Can you conclude that the mean concentration of total solids is less than 30 g/L? Compute the appropriate test statistic and find the P-value. c) An environmental engineer claims that the mean concentration of total solids is equal to 18 g/L. Can you conclude that the claim is false?
The article "Experimental Design Approach for the Optimization of the Separation of
Enantiomers in Preparative Liquid Chromatography" (S. Lai and Z. Lin, Separation Science
and Technology, 2002: 847–875) describes an experiment involving a chemical process
designed to separate enantiomers. A model was fit to estimate the cycle time (y) in terms of
the flow rate (x1), sample concentration (x2), and mobile-phase composition (x3). The results
of a least-squares fit are presented in the following table. (The article did not provide the
