1. The department of nature resources reports that a fish is unsafe to eat if the polychlorinated biphenol (PCB) concentration e

xceeds 4.0 parts billion (ppb). 10 fish were taken randomly from a local lake and the value of the PCB concentration for each fish was measured. The data are listed blow. 2.9 7.6 4.8 5.2 5.1 4.7 6.9 4.9 3.7 3.8 Let µ = the true mean value of the PCB concentration for all the fish in the lake. We want to test to determine whether the fish from this lake should not be eaten. Write down the null and alternative hypotheses

Answer:

H0 rejected as μ>4

and a fish is unsafe to eat from the lake.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)Let the null hypothesis be  H0 : mu ≤4 against the alternate Ha: mu > 4 ppb

H0: μ ≤4   against the claim Ha:  μ>4

2) X`= ∑x/ n= 2.9 +7.6+ 4.8+ 5.2+ 5.1+ 4.7+ 6.9+ 4.9+ 3.7+ 3.8/10

= 49.6/10= 4.96

The standard deviation can be calculated  sigma= 1.344767 ( using statistic calculator)

3) The significance level is taken to be  ∝=0.05

The value of z at 0.05 for 1 sided test is z >± 1.645

i.e the critical region is less than - 1.645 and greater than +1.645

4) Taking the distribution to be approximately normal

Z= x`- u / s/ √n

Z= 4.96-4/ 1.345/10

Z= 4.96-4/ 1.345/3.1622

Z= 0.96/0.4253

Z= 2.257

5) Since the calculated value of z = 2.257 falls in the critical region we reject our null hypothesis and conclude that true mean value of the PCB concentration is greater than 4 (ppb) and that a fish is unsafe to eat from the lake.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Stratified sampling technique(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the population of an high school from which selection was made equals 461 sophomores, 328 juniors and 558 seniors.

35 sophomores, 69 juniors and 24 seniors are randomly selected. The technique used in selecting is Stratified sampling technique. This is because stratified sampling involves dividing the entire population into stratas and then selects a final sample randomly from the different strata. This means that a smaller part of the entire population is used as a sample in drawing conclusions for the entire population.
