Question:
The mayor of Chud, Wisconsin, has faced criticism over the number of water quality advisories issued last year for the city’s water supply. Specifically, Chud’s average water contaminant score last year was .29 (a rating of “marginally acceptable” according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources). The mayor and city council took a number of aggressive steps to improve the quality of the city’s water supply this year. Ideally the mayor’s target for this year is an average water contaminant score of no greater than .25 (an “acceptable” rating). The mayor hires an independent consultant to analyze 80 days’ worth of water samples for contaminants. What can the consultant tell the mayor after analyzing these scores?
