### Statistical Analysis of Iron Concentration in Water#### Problem StatementLet \( X \) be a random variable that represents the concentration of iron in water. The EPA specifies that \( X \) has a normal distribution with \( \sigma = 0.9 \). The company claims that the iron concentration population mean is \( \mu = 2.0 \) downstream from the plant. But 10 samples taken downstream from an industrial plant show an \( \bar{X} = 2.48 \).#### Questionsa. Does this sample indicate a \( \mu \) higher than that the company claims? (α = 1%)b. Find a 95% confidence interval for \( \mu \) generated from the sample data.#### Analysis1. **Hypothesis Testing for a Higher Mean Concentration** - Null Hypothesis (\( H_0 \)): \( \mu = 2.0 \) - Alternative Hypothesis (\( H_1 \)): \( \mu > 2.0 \) - Significance Level (\( \alpha \)): 1%2. **Calculation for Confidence Interval** - The 95% confidence interval will be calculated using the sample mean \( \bar{X} \), standard deviation \( \sigma \), and the number of samples \( n = 10 \).3. **Interpretations** - Results of the hypothesis test will determine if there is statistically significant evidence to believe that the iron concentration is higher than what the company claims. - The confidence interval will give a range within which the true population mean \( \mu \) is expected to lie with 95% certainty.This problem involves conducting a one-tailed hypothesis test and calculating the confidence interval for the population mean based on sample data. It teaches the application of statistical inference methods in environmental quality control.

An old medical textbook states that the mean sodium level for healthy adults is 140 mEq per liter of blood. A medical researcher believes that, because of modern dietary habits, the mean sodium level for healthy adults, u, now differs from that given in the textbook. A random sample of 23 healthy adults is evaluated. The mean sodium level for the sample is 147 mEq per liter of blood. It is known that the population standard deviation of adult sodium levels is 14 mEq. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the population mean adult sodium level differs from that given in the textbook? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
