Question:
8.84 Polluted Rain Suppose you wish to estimate the mean pH of rainfalls in an area that suffers heavy pollution due to the discharge of smoke from a power plant. You know that or is in the neighbourhood of 0.5 pH, and you wish your estimate to lie within 0.1 of , with a probability near 0.95. Approximately how many rainfalls must be included in your sample (one pH reading per rainfall)? Would it be valid to select all of your water specimens from a single rainfall? Explain.
