Pregnant women are screened for a birth defect called Down syndrome. Down syndrome babies are mentally and physically challenged. Some mothers choose to abort the fetus when they are certain that their baby will be born with the syndrome. The most common screening is maternal serum screening, a blood test that looks for markers in the blood to indicate whether the birth defect may occur. The false-positive and false-negative rates vary according to the age of the mother.

Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water. A mean arsenic level of u = 8 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Los Banos is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 37 tests gave a sample mean of = 7.3ppb arsenic. It is known that o = 1.9 ppb for this type of data. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use the classical approach. Use a = 0.01 What is the Decision (step 5) for this problem? There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 7.3 ppb. O There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 8.0 ppb.

The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ?
