The article “Arsenic and Mercury in Lake Whitefish and Burbot Near the Abandoned Giant Mine on Great Slave Lake” (P. Cott, B. Zajdlik, et al., Journal of Great Lakes Research, 2016:223–232) presents measurements of arsenic concentrations in fish found in Northern Canada. In a sample of 8 whitefish caught in Yellowknife Bay, the mean arsenic concentration in the liver was 0.32 mg/kg, with a standard deviation of 0.05 mg/kg. Can you conclude that the mean arsenic concentration in whitefish in Yellowknife Bay is greater than 0.3 mg/kg?
The article “Arsenic and Mercury in Lake Whitefish and Burbot Near the Abandoned Giant Mine on Great Slave Lake” (P. Cott, B. Zajdlik, et al., Journal of Great Lakes Research, 2016:223–232) presents measurements of arsenic concentrations in fish found in Northern Canada. a) In a sample of 8 whitefish caught in Yellowknife Bay, the mean arsenic concentration in the liver was 0.32 mg/kg, with a standard deviation of 0.05 mg/kg. Find a 95% confidence interval for the concentration in whitefish found in Yellowknife Bay. b) In a sample of 8 whitefish caught in Baker Pond, the mean arsenic concentration in the liver was 0.55 mg/kg, with a standard deviation of 0.36 mg/kg. Should the Student’s t distribution be used to find a 95% confidence interval for the concentration in whitefish found in Baker Pond? If so, find the confidence interval. If not, explain why not.

- Scoliosis is a condition involving curvature of the spine. In a study, 286 girls age 10 to 15 years, were followed to determine the effects of an underarm plastic brace (111 patients), nighttime surface electrical stimulation (46 patients) and observation only (129 patients). A treatment was deemed to have failed if the curvature of the spine increased by 6° on two successive examinations. The preceding table summarizes the results obtained by researchers. At the 1% significance level, does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference in failure rate exists among the three types of treatments?
