You have been asked to analyze ground water quality for a largely rural
American county. During your analysis you learn that septic tank density
has a correlation coefficient of 0.15 with ground water nitrate
concentrations. From these data, you can safely infer (Choose the best
response)
A. Septic tanks appear to contribute to the Counties ground water nitrate
concerns. However, additional factors are also involved and need to be
investigated.
B. Septic tanks have increased nitrate concentration by 15%. Therefore,
restricting future septic tank installations is important for the counties
ground water quality.
C. Septic tanks have increased nitrate concentration by 15%. Therefore,
restricting future septic tank installations is important for the counties
ground water quality. In addition, the County needs to seriously consider
extending existing sewer lines to thereby reduce the number of septic
tanks.
D. The correla - ANSWERS-C. Septic tanks have increased nitrate
concentration by 15%. Therefore, restricting future septic tank
installations is important for the counties ground water quality. In
addition, the County needs to seriously consider extending existing
sewer lines to thereby reduce the number of septic tanks.
