Math
Basic MathArsenic is a compound that occurs naturally in very low concentrations. Arsenic blood concentrations in healthy individuals are
normally distributed, with mean u 3.2 micrograms per deciliter (μg/dl) and standard deviation = 1.5 (μg/dl). Some areas
are known to have naturally elevated concentrations of arsenic in the ground and water supplies. We take a random sample of
adults residing in a high-arsenic area and ask whether the data provide good evidence that the mean blood arsenic concentration
in this population is elevated compared with the 3.2 µg/dl mean of the population of healthy individuals.
Define the parameter examined and select the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
Ho: μ = 3.2 μg/dl; Ha: μ> 3.2 µg/dl
None of the options are correct.
Ho: μ = 3.2 µg/dl; Ha: μ< 3.2 μg/dl
Ho: H=3.2 μg/dl; Ha: ## 3.2 μg/dl
