Based on otherinfractions they have noticed, an environmental action group believes this limit is beingexceeded. Monitoring the plan is expensive, and a random sample of four hours is selectedover a period of a week. Software reports(5 points)VariableNo. CasesMeanStDevSE of MeanWASTE41000.0400.0200.0a.Test whether the mean discharge equals 500 gallons per hour against the alternative that thelimit is being exceeded. Find theP-value, and interpret.(2.5 points)b.Explain why the test may be highly approximate or even invalid if the population distributionof discharge is far from normal.(2.5 points)(2)Significance Test for a Proportion.Same-sex marriage was legalized across Canadaby the Civil Marriage Act enacted in 2005. Is this supported by a majority, or a minority, ofthe Canadian population? In an Ipsos Global poll conducted forReuter Newsin May 2013 of1000 Canadians that asked whether legalization should stand or be repealed, 63% supportedlegalization.
