5. A scientist believes the concentration of radon gas in the air is greater that the established safe level of 4pci or less. The scientist tests the composition for 36 days finding an average concentration of 4.4 pci with a sample standard deviation of 1 pci. a) In testing the scientist's belief, write the appropriate hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance.

Complete Question

A scientist believes the concentration of radon gas in the air is greater that the established safe level of 4 pci or less. The scientist tests the composition for 36 days finding an average concentration of 4.4 pci with a sample standard deviation of 1 pci.

a) In testing the scientist's belief, write the appropriate hypotheses:

                              Ha:

b) What decision should be made?

a

The null hypothesis is  

The  alternative  hypothesis is

b

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the concentration of radon gas in the air is greater that the established safe level of 4pci or less

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population mean is  

    The sample size

     The  sample  mean is  

     The  standard deviation is  

       The  level  of significance is  

The null hypothesis is  

The  alternative  hypothesis is

  Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

=>      

=>      

=>      

The  p-value  is mathematically represented as

From the  z-table  

So from this obtained value  we see that

      so we reject the null hypothesis

Hence we can conclude that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the concentration of radon gas in the air is greater that the established safe level of 4pci or less
