Acid rain A study of the effects of acid rain on trees inthe Hopkins Forest shows that 25 of 100 trees sampledexhibited some sort of damage from acid rain. This rateseemed to be higher than the 15% quoted in a recent
Environmetrics article on the average proportion of dam-aged trees in the Northeast. Does the sample suggest that
trees in the Hopkins Forest are more susceptible thantrees from the rest of the region? Comment, and write upyour own conclusions based on an appropriate confidence
interval as well as a hypothesis test. Include any assump-tions you made about the data.
The null hypothesis that there is no relationship between the amount of coffee consumption and GPA (p=.72)
