13. Polluted Rain Suppose you wish to estimate the mean pH of rainfalls in a heavily polluted area. You know that s is approximately .5 pH, and you wish your estimate to lie within .1 of m, with a probability near .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.
