Textbook Question
Chapter 3.11, Problem 4E
The regulations of the board of health in a particular state specify that the fluoride level must not exceed 1.5 parts per million (ppm). The 25 measurements given here represent the fluoride levels for a sample of 25 days. Although fluoride levels are measured more than once per day, these data represent the early morning readings for the 25 days sampled.
- a. Determine the
range of the measurements. - b. Dividing the range by 7, the number of subintervals selected, and rounding, we have a class interval width of .05. Using .705 as the lower limit of the first interval, construct a frequency histogram.
- c. Compute relative frequencies for each class interval and construct a relative frequency histogram. Note that the frequency and relative frequency histograms for these data have the same shape.
- d. If one of these 25 days were selected at random, what would be the chance (
probability ) that the fluoride reading would be greater than .90 ppm? Guess (predict) what proportion of days in the coming year will have a fluoride reading greater than .90 ppm.

Since no existing treatment exists, they have planned a one-armstudy. They wish to test whether the success rate of the drug is better than 50%, whichthey have defined as the null success rate. Preliminary testing has estimated the successrate of the drug at 55%. The investigators are eager to get the drug into production andwould like to plan for 9 interim analyses (10 analyzes in total) of the data. Assume thesignificance level is 5% and power is 90%.Besides, draw a combined boundary plot (OBF, POC, and HP)
