Problem 2. (1 point)
Health Canada sets a standard for arsenic levels in drinking water
to be no more than 10 ppb (parts per billion). You suspect that
the arsenic levels in residential drinking water in your residential
neighborhood are, on average, higher than the standard set by
Health Canada. Let μ be the mean level of arsenic, in ppb, in the
drinking water of your residential neighborhood.
(a) Select the statistical hypotheses to be tested.
