An agricultural scientist collects 18 soil samples from random locations in a farmer's field. The mean amount of organic
An agricultural scientist collects 18 soil samples from random locations in a farmer's field. The mean amount of organic phosphorus in theses samples is 42.1 ppm, and the variance is 185.6 ppm². You may assume that organic phosphorus in soil follows a normal distribution. (a) Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean phosphorus content of the farmer's field is less than 45 ppm? Carefully set up and run a significance test at level a = .05. (b) Determine a level C = 95% confidence interval for the population variance. As always, make sure your process is clear.
