An analysis of city drinking water for total hardness was done by two students in the laboratory and produced the following results (in ppm CaCO3):
Student A: 228.3, 226.4, 226.9, 227.1, and 228.6.
Student B: 229.5, 226.1, 230.7, 223.8, and 227.5What is the 95% confidence interval for the mean?
2. As the director of a research laboratory you are paid to decide if there is a significant
difference between the mean values of two sets of data obtained by two different scientists, a
senior scientist and one recently hired. Use 95% CL. (t at df = 10 is 2.23)
Data of Senior Scientist: Xmean = 24.66% with s = 0.06% for n = 5
Data of the New Kid: xmean = 24.55% with s = 0.10% for n = 7
Find the mean and median of each of the following sets of data. Determine the deviation from the mean for each data point within the seats and find the mean deviation for each set. Use a spreadsheet if it is convenient. (a) 0.0110 0.0104. 0.0105
