(choose chapter or problem)

Lead Levels in Drinking Water Analyses ofdrinking water samples for 100 homes in each of twodifferent sections of a city gave the following meansand standard deviations of lead levels (in parts permillion):Section 1 Section 2Sample Size 100 100Mean 34.1 36.0Standard Deviation 5.9 6.0a. Calculate the test statistic and its p-value to test fora difference in the two population means. Use thep-value to evaluate the statistical significance of theresults at the 5% level.b. Use a 95% confidence interval to estimate the differencein the mean lead levels for the two sectionsof the city.c. Suppose that the city environmental engineers willbe concerned only if they detect a difference ofmore than 5 parts per million in the two sections ofthe city. Based on your confidence interval in partb, is the statistical significance in part a of practicalsignificance to the city engineers? Explain.
