Let x be a random variable that represents micrograms of

(b) Find a 95% confidence interval for m using the sample data and the EPA value for s.
(c) How large a sample should be taken to be 95% confident that the sample mean x is within a margin of error E = 0.2μg/L of the population mean?
Use the following steps (i)€“(v) for all hypothesis tests:
(i) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
(ii) Requirements What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? What is the value of the sample test statistic?
(iii) Find (or estimate) the P-value. Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value
(iv) Based on your answers in parts (i)€“(iii), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level a?
(v) Your conclusion in the context of the application.
