Suppose you're trying to measure the Selenium toxicity in your tap water, and obtain the following values for each day:
day | selenium |
---|---|
1 | 0.051 |
2 | 0.0505 |
3 | 0.049 |
4 | 0.0516 |
5 | 0.052 |
6 | 0.0508 |
7 | 0.0506 |
The maxiumum level for safe drinking water is 0.05 mg/L -- using this as your alpha, does the selenium tap level exceed the legal limit? Hint: you can use a t-test here.
