Standard deviation of ozone concentration

Assignment Help Basic Statistics
Reference no: EM13995306

Taking air samples at random times during a 2-month period, an environmental group finds the standard deviation of ozone concentration measurements in the vicinity of a chemical plant to be 0.03 parts per million (ppm). The group believes the population of ozone measurements is normally distributed, and they have decided to use the 0.03 ppm figure as a baseline for the variability in the values. They will continue taking air samples, with 12 samples taken at random times dur- ing each week. If they find that the standard deviation of observations for any given week is abnormally higher or lower than 0.03 ppm, they will conclude that some- thing unusual is happening at the plant. Given that the group is estimating s as 0.03, and assuming that they are relying on a 98% confidence interval, how high or low would a weekly standard deviation have to be for them to conclude that unusual events are taking place at the plant?
