Question
Federal officials have investigated the problems associated with disposal of hazardous wastes. One disposal site is the
abandoned Stringfellow acid pits in Riverside County, Calif. The EPA sampled water from 12 wells in nearby Glen Avon. The EPA
standard for maximum allowable radiation level of drinking water is 13.35 pCi/L. Suppose that the sample of 12 water specimens
resulted in a sample mean radiation level of 18.97 pCi/L and a sample standard deviation 6.12. Is this sufficient evidence to
indicate that the water in Glen Avon has a mean radiation level that exceeds the EPA standard?. Use t test. (a = 0.05)
Ho = 13.35
versus
Η μ > 13.35
Let μ denote the true mean radiation level for well water in Glen Avon
O Reject Null Hypothesis
O Failed to Reject Null Hypothesis
