Six measurements were made of the magnesium ion concentration (in parts per million, or ppm) in a city's municipal water supply, with the following results. It is reasonable to assume that the population is approx. normal. DATA: 202, 164, 157, 177, 113, 2132 02, 164, 157, 177, 113, 213.

Based on a 98% confidence interval for the mean magnesium ion concentration, is it reasonable to believe that the mean magnesium ion concentration may be greater than 195?

In a test for esp (extrasensory perception), a subject is told that cards only the experimenter can see contain either a star, a circle, a wave, or a square. as the experimenter looks at each of 20 cards in turn, the subject names the shape on the card. a subject who is just guessing has probability 0.25 of guessing correctly on each card. a. the count of correct guesses in 20 cards has a binomial distribution. what are n and p? b. what is the mean number of correct guesses in 20 cards for subjects who are just guessing? c. what is the probability of exactly 5 correct guesses in 20 cards if a subject is just guessing?
