(choose chapter or problem)

pH Levels in Water A sampling ofthe acidity of rain for 10 randomly selectedrainfalls was recorded at three different locations in theUnited States: the Northeast, the Middle Atlanticregion, and the Southeast. The pH readings for these30 rainfalls are shown in the table. (NOTE: pH readingsrange from 0 to 14; 0 is acid, 14 is alkaline. Pure waterfalling through clean air has a pH reading of 5.7.)Northeast Middle Atlantic Southeast4.45 4.60 4.554.02 4.27 4.314.13 4.31 4.843.51 3.88 4.674.42 4.49 4.283.89 4.22 4.954.18 4.54 4.723.95 4.76 4.634.07 4.36 4.364.29 4.21 4.47a.
