A researcher thinks that the average ozone concentration in Southern Ontario air is less than 20 ppb. From past studies of ozone in the air the population standard deviation is known to be 4.3 ppm. A survey from 17 locations across Sothern Ontario gives a mean ozone concentration of 22.1 ppb. What is the z-score needed for this problem? Give your answer to 2 decimal places. Your Answer:

Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 6.6 parts/million (ppm). A researcher believes that the current ozone level is at an excess level. The mean of 1040 samples is 6.7 ppm. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 1.1. Does the data support the claim at the 0.02 level? Step 2 of 5: Enter the value of the z test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 5.7 parts/million (ppm). A researcher believes that the current ozone level is not at a normal level. The mean of 20 samples is 6.2 ppm with a standard deviation of 1.0. Assume the population is normally distributed. A level of significance of 0.1 will be used. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
