Chapter 13, Problem 15CRE
The discharge of industrial wastewater into rivers affects water quality. To assess the effect of a particular power plant on water quality, 24 water specimens were taken 16 km upstream and 4 km downstream of the plant. Alkalinity (mg/L) was determined for each specimen, resulting in the summary quantities in the accompanying table. Do the data suggest that the actual

When exposed to an infection, a person typically develops antibodies. The extent to which theantibodies respond can be measured by looking at a persons titer, which is a measure of the number of antibodies present. The higher the titer is, the more antibodies that are present. The data in Table represent the titers of 11 ill people and 11 healthy people exposed to the tularemia virus in Vermont. Is the level of titer in the ill group greater than the level of titer in the healthy group? Use the α = 0.10 level of significance.
High cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart disease. A total cholesterol reading above 190 mg/dL is considered high.A physician is concerned that a patient may be at risk for high cholesterol. In order to accurately measure the patient's average cholesterol level, the physician instructs the patient to come into the physician's office once a week for 12 weeks for a blood lipid screening. The results of the 12 measurements are listed below.

Use the critical value method to test the hypothesis that the patient's cholesterol level is greater than 190 mg/dL, using a significance level of 10%. Assume that the distribution of all cholesterol measurements from this patient is approximately normally distributed.
Determine the critical value(s) for this hypothesis test. Round the solution(s) to four decimal places. If more than one critical value exists, enter the solutions using a comma-separated list.Determine the test…
