Question

A food safety guideline is that the mercury in fish should be below 1 part per million​ (ppm). Listed below are the amounts of mercury​ (ppm) found in tuna sushi sampled at different stores in a major city. Construct a 99​% confidence interval estimate of the mean amount of mercury in the population. Does it appear that there is too much mercury in tuna​ sushi?

0.51  

0.73  

0.11  

0.87  

1.30  

0.50  

0.79

What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean μ​?

Does it appear that there is too much mercury in tuna​ sushi?

A.

​No, because it is possible that the mean is not greater than 1 ppm.​ Also, at least one of the sample values is less than 1​ ppm, so at least some of the fish are safe.

B.

​No, because it is not possible that the mean is greater than 1 ppm.​ Also, at least one of the sample values is less than 1​ ppm, so at least some of the fish are safe.

C.

​Yes, because it is possible that the mean is greater than 1 ppm.​ Also, at least one of the sample values exceeds 1​ ppm, so at least some of the fish have too much mercury.

D.

​Yes, because it is possible that the mean is not greater than 1 ppm.​ Also, at least one of the sample values exceeds 1​ ppm, so at least some of the fish have too much mercury.
