An environmental chemist is performing a study of iron in atmospheric particulate measured downwind from a steel mill. She is concerned that wind velocity at the time of measurement may affect the readings. So, she decided to obtain observations on 30 randomly chosen days during the period of peak operation of the mill. She then, compares measurements taken on days when the wind is calm (velocity ≤ 5 knots) with measurements taken on windy days (velocity > 5 knots). The data are presented as the following: Table 1: Measurement of iron Calms Days Windy Days 0.68 0.74 0.88 0.25 0.29 0.3 0.43 0.45 0.5 0.89 0.97 1 0.65 0.91 0.92 0.93 0.95 1.01 1.17 1.25 1.27 0.69 0.74 0.8 0.87 0.87 0.89 8.85 1.54 0.6 1.03 1.16 By using SPSS or Minitab only: (1) Generate a descriptive table and summarize the data. (ii) Synthesize and discuss the different on the iron level between two days using boxplots. (iii) Propose the appropriate test to the study.
A random sample of n, 20 winter days in Denver gave a sample mean pollution index x, = 43. Previous studles show that o,- 10. For Englewood (a suburb of Denver), a random sample of n, - 19 winter days gave a sample mean pollution Index of x, = 37. Previous studies show that g, -13. Assume the pollution Index is normally distributed in both Englewood and Denver. Do these data indicate that the mean population pollution index of Englewood is different (either way) from that of Denver in the winter? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) what is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. (b) what sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? O The Student's t. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations. O The Student's t.
