Q.5 The Environment protection agency (EPA) releases figures on urban air soot in
selected cities in the India. For the city of Mumbai, the EPA claims that the average
number of micrograms of suspended particles per cubic meter of air is 82. Suppose
Mumbai officials have been working with businesses, commuters and industries to
reduce this figure. These city officials hire an environmental company to take random
measures of air soot over a period of several weeks. The resulting data from 32
measurements mention here.
81.6 66.6 70.9 82.5 58.3 71.6 72.4 96.6 78.6 76.1 80.0 73.2 85.5 73.2 68.6 61.7

Use these data to determine whether the urban air soot in Mumbai is significantly
lower than it was when the EPA conducted its measurements. Use alpha 0.01.

Q.5 Eleven employees were put under the care of the company nurse because of high
cholesterol readings. The nurse lectured them on the dangers of this condition and put
them on a new diet program. The following table is the cholesterol readings of the 11
employees both before the new diet and one month after use of the diet program.
Make the statement of hypothesis. Test the hypothesis that the program was successful
with its objective. Use 5 % significance level to test the hypothesis. Assume the
differences in cholesterol readings are normally distributed in the population.
