The answer is False.

Explanation:

  • The statement that children with lead levels below the USA actionable level of 10 µg/dL blood have no adverse effects from lead is incorrect. Research has shown that even low levels of lead exposure can have harmful effects on children's health. These effects can include cognitive impairments, developmental delays, and behavioral issues.
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other health organizations have recognized that there is no safe level of lead exposure for children. Even levels below 10 µg/dL can be associated with negative health outcomes.
  • Therefore, it is important to minimize lead exposure as much as possible, even if blood lead levels are below the previously established actionable level.

A coin-operated drink machine was designed to discharge a mean of 6 fluid ounces of coffee per cup. In a test of the machine, the discharge amounts in 9 randomly chosen cups of coffee from the machine were recorded. The sample mean and sample standard deviation were 5.77 fluid ounces and 0.27 fluid ounces, respectively. If we assume that the discharge amounts are approximately normally distributed, is there enough evidence, to conclude that the population mean discharge, μ, differs from 6 fluid ounces? Use the 0.10 level of significance. Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1. H0: μ=6 H1: μ ≠ 6 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. Degrees of freedom: 8 (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) 2.556 (d) Find the two critical values. (Round to three or more decimal places.) (e) Can we conclude that the mean discharge differs from 6 fluid ounces? Yes No
