Question

The daily dissolved oxygen concentration in a downstream from an industrial plant has been recorded for the past 10 days (see image).

  • Suppose the minimum concentration required by the EPA is 2.0 mg/L. Perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the stream quality satisfies the EPA standard at the significance level of 5%. Indicate the parameters of interest, null and alternative hypotheses, and test statistic (with complete computations).
  • What can you conclude? (Can the null hypothesis be rejected or not?)
