Lakes where chlorophyll levels exceed 100 mg/L are at risk for fish kills on cloudy days. In a random sample of eight water specimens, the mean chlorophyll level was 91.6 mg/L. Assume that the data come from a normal distribution with σ =20. We want to demonstrate that the mean in this lake is less than the 100 mg/L threshold.
