1. Periodically, the county Water Department tests the drinkingwater of homeowners for contminants such as lead and copper. Thelead and copper levels in water specimens collected in 1998 for asample of 10 residents of a subdevelopement of the county are shownbelow.
lead (?g/L) | copper (mg/L) |
0.9 | 0.268 |
5.9 | 0.21 |
5.7 | 0.781 |
3.7 | 0.835 |
2.3 | 0.313 |
