Proportion of total number of sediments

Reference no: EM13965419

Pesticide concentrations in sediment from irrigation areas can provide information required to assess exposure and fate of these chemicals in freshwater ecosystems and their likely impacts to the marine environment. In a study (Jochen F. Muller et al., "Pesticides in sedi- ments from Queensland Irrigation channels and drains," Marine Pollution Bulletin 41(7-12), 294-301, 2000), 103 sediment samples were collected from irrigation channels and drains in 11 agricultural areas of Queensland. In 74 of these samples, they detected DDTs with concentration levels up to 840 ng g-1 dw. Obtain a 95% con?dence interval for the proportion of total number of sediments with detectable DDTs.
