Question 3:
The FDA regulates that fresh Albacore tuna fish that is consumed is allowed to contain 0.82 ppm of mercury or less. A laboratory is estimating the amount of mercury in tuna fish for a new company and needs to have a margin of error within 0.023 ppm of mercury with 97% confidence. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.143 ppm of mercury. What sample size is needed? Round up to the nearest integer, do not include any decimals. Answer: ___183

A chemical industry discharges a waste contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) to the city sewer system. 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.

Estimate the absolute standard deviation (or uncertainty) for the results of the following calculations. Round each result so that it contains only significant digits. The numbers in parentheses are absolute standard deviations. Show your solution and express the final answer and its corresponding uncertainty. a) y= 2.998(±0.002) - 3.98 (±0.15) + 9.035 (±0.002) = 8.0531
