Consider the following to answer the question(s) below:
A company's manufacturing process uses 500 litres of water at a time. A "scrubbing" machine then removes most of a chemical pollutant before pumping the water into a nearby lake. To meet federal regulations the treated water must not contain more than 80 parts per million (ppm) of the chemical. Because there is a fine charged if regulations are not met, the company sets the machine to attain an average of 75 ppm in the treated water. The machine's output can be described by a Normal model with a standard deviation 4.2 ppm.
-The company's lawyers insist that not more than 2% of the treated water should be over the limit. In order to achieve this, to what mean should the company set the scrubbing machine? Assume the standard deviation does not change.
A) 75 ppm
B) 78.626 ppm
C) 71.373 ppm
D) 80 ppm
E) 60 ppm
