5.58 The concentration of mercury in a lake has been monitored for a number of years. Measurements taken on a weekly basis yielded an average of 1.20 mg/m (milligrams per cubic meter) with a standard deviation of .32 mg/m. Following an accident at a smelter on the shore of the lake, 15 measurements produced the following mercury concentrations. 1.60 1.77 1.61 1.08 1.07 1.79 1.34 1.07 1.45 1.59 1.43 2.07 1.16 0.85 2.11 ES ABOUT POPULATION CENTRAL VALUES a. Give a point estimate of the mean mercury concentration after the accident. b. Construct a 95% confidence interval on the mean mereury concentration after the accident. Interpret this interval. c. Is there sufficient evidence that the mean mercury concentration has increased since the accident? Use a = .05. d. Assuming that the standard deviation of the mercury concentration is .32 mg/m. calculate the power of the test to detect mercury concentrations of 1.28, 1.32. 1.36, and 1.40.
