4.33. An inspector counts the surface-finish defects in dishwashers. A random sample of five dishwashers contains three such defects. Is there reason to conclude that the mean occurrence rate of surface-finish defects per dishwasher exceeds 0.5? Use the results of part (a) of Exercise 4.32 and assume that α = 0.05.
4.32. Nonconformities occur in glass bottles according to a Poisson distribution. A random sample of 100 bottles contains a total of 11 nonconformities.
- (a) Develop a procedure for testing the hypothesis that the mean of a Poisson distribution λ equals a specified value λ0. Hint: Use the normal approximation to the Poisson.
- (b) Use the results of part (a) to test the hypothesis that the mean occurrence rate of nonconformities is λ = 0.15. Use α = 0.01.

Arsenic is a compound that occurs naturally in very low concentrations. Arsenic blood
concentrations in healthy individuals are Normally distributed with a mean of 3.2 mg/dl.
Some areas of the United States have naturally elevated arsenic levels in the ground and
water supplies. Researchers took a sample 20 water samples from a particular area and
measured the arsenic levels in each of the 20 water samples. They want to determine if
there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the arsenic level in that area is higher than 3.2
mg/dl.

Spray drift is a constant concern for pesticide applicators and agricultural producers. The inverse relationship between droplet size and drift potential is well known.
The paper "Effects of 2,4-D Formulation and Quinclorac on Spray Droplet Size and Deposition"+ investigated the effects of herbicide formulation on spray
atomization. A figure in a paper suggested the normal distribution with mean 1050 µm and standard deviation 150 µm was a reasonable model for droplet size for
water (the "control treatment") sprayed through a 760 ml/min nozzle.

- Urinary fluoride concentration (in parts per million) was measured for both a sample of livestock that had been grazing in an area previously exposed to fluoride pollution and a similar sample of livestock that had grazed in an unpolluted region. Do the accompanying data indicate strongly that the mean fluoride concentration for livestock grazing in the polluted region is larger than that for livestock grazing in the unpolluted region?
