s were taken. The soil was extracted with acid, and the extract was analyzed using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. In Area A, Pb concentrations were 1.2, 1.0, 0.9, 1.4 mg/kg. In Area B, Pb concentrations were 0.7, 1.0, 0.5, 0.6, 0.4 mg/kg. Are these two areas significantly different from each other with Pb concentrations at 90% confidence level?

The rare earth element gadolinium is often used as a contrasting agent for MRIS. The concentration of gadolinium was measured in the discharge from a wastewater treatment plant near a large medical facility. Eight measurements were obtained: 1.254 ppm, 1.252 ppm, 1.246 ppm, 1.242 ppm, 1.815 ppm, 1.244 ppm, 1.251 ppm, 1.249 ppm. Use the Grubbs test to determine if one of these values is an outlier. What is the value of Geale? Should this potential outlier be rejected with 95% Gcalc = confidence? Critical values of G can be found in this table. + TOOLS x10 The potential outlier should be rejected. The potential outlier should be kept. Based on the outcome of the Grubbs test, calculate the mean (x), standard deviation (s), and 99% confidence interval for the results. A list of t values can be found in the Student'st table. ppm S = Ppm confidence interval: ppm

Lichen has a high absorbance capacity for radiation fallout from nuclear accidents. Since lichen is a major source for Alaskan caribou, and caribou is major food source tor the Alaskan villagers, it is important to monitor the level of radioactivity in lichen. Researcher at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, collected 9 lichen specimens and measured the amount in micro-curies per milliliter) of the radioactive element cesium-137 for each. Using the Minitab software, it was found that the mean and standard deviation for the 9 observations were X = 0.009027 аnd s = 0.004854 A) Give a point estimate for the mean amount of cesium in lichen specimens collected in Alaska.

One operation of a mill is to cut pieces of steel into parts that will later be used as the frame for front seats in an automobile. The steel is cut with a diamond saw and requires the resulting parts to be within 10.005 inch of the length specified by the automobile company. Data are collected from a sample of 50 steel parts and are shown in the following table. The measurement reported is the difference in inches between the actual length of the steel part, as measured by a laser measurement device, and the specified length of the steel part. For example, the first value, -0.003, represents a steel part that is 0.003 inch shorter than the specified length. Complete parts a through c Click the icon to view the data table. a.
