7.2.8 Scientists at the Hopkins Memorial Forest in western Mas- sachusetts have been collecting meteorological and environmen- tal data in the forest data for more than 100 years. In the past few years, sulfate content in water samples from Birch Brook has averaged 7.48 mg/L with a standard deviation of 1.60 mg/L. a. What is the standard error of the sulfate in a collection of 10 water samples? b. If 10 students measure the sulfate in their samples, what is the probability that their average sulfate will be between 6.49 and 8.47 mg/L? c. What do you need to assume for the probability calculated in (b) to be accurate? 7.2.9 Data on the pH of rain in Ingham County, Michigan, are as follows: 5.47 5.37 5.38 4.63 5.37 3.74 3.71 4.96 4.64 5.11 5.65 5.39 4.16 5.62 4.57 4.64 5.48 4.57 4.57 4.51 4.86 4.56 4.61 4.32 3.98 5.70 4.15 3.98 5.65 3.10 5.04 4.62 4.51 4.34 4.16 4.64 5.12 3.71 4.64 What proportion of the samples has pH below 5.0?
