f. Let X ~ χ2(15), find the 10th percentile of X, (or χ20.9(15) )
g. Let Let X ~ N(500, 900), find the 15th percentile of X.
h. Let Let Z ~ N(0.1), find the 95th percentile of Z, (or z0.5).
Question Five
Water samples were taken at four different locations in a river to determine whether the quantity of dissolved oxygen, a measure of water pollution, varied from one location to another. Locations 1 and 2 were selected above an industrial plant, one near the shore and the other in midstream; location 3 was adjacent to the industrial water discharge for the plant; and location 4 was slightly downriver in midstream. Five water specimens were randomly selected at each location, but one specimen, corresponding to location 4, was lost in the laboratory. The data are provided here (the greater the pollution, the lower the dissolved oxygen readings).
