Question 5 (2 points) You love fishing but are concerned at the levels of contaminants in fish in your local Kalamazoo River. As part of a study in monitoring levels of chemical contaminants in Carp fish in order to provide safe eating guidelines, you set about measuring levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in 5 randomly sampled fish caught in the Kalamazoo River. Data are summarized in the table below.
