The ph of a liquid is a measure of its acidity or alkalinity. pure water has a ph of 7, which is neutral. solutions with a ph less than 7 are acidic while solutions with a ph greater than 7 are alkaline. a biologist was interested in testing the purity of lake water in florida. a random sample of 67 lakes was taken, and the ph of water in each lake was recorded. the sample of lakes has an average ph of 6.716 with a standard deviation of 2.196.
