Water with salinity concentration less than 0.05% is considered fresh. The analyst decides to run a one-sample t test at a significance level of a = 0.03 on this sample of wells to determine if the overall salt concentration of the state's water supply exceeds 0.05%. The shape of the sample data is approximately symmetric with no outliers, and its statistics are x = 0.048% Sz = 0.0366% P-value = 0.0166 where x is the sample mean, s, is the sample standard deviation, and the P-value is the probability that results from the 1 test. The analyst decides that there is enough evidence to conclude that the mean water salinity level exceeds 0.05%. Is this decision valid? To answer this question, complete the following sentence. The conclusion is invalid - because all of the conditions for inference have been met the Normal/Large Counts condition is not met the Random condition is not met
