In relation to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, one of the<br>critical measures being monitored by the World Health Organization is the annual<br>mean concentrations of fine particulate matter of less than 2.5 microns of diameter<br>(or PM2.5, in ug/m3 units] in urban areas. This is the usual indicator of air pollution.<br>As of 2016, the World Health Organization reported that urban areas in the US<br>have an average of 7.55 ug/m3.

Let us assume the variable follows a normal<br>distribution with standard deviation of 0.11 ug/m3.
