Module 5 Homework Set C (11.2)

please help

A researcher studies water clarity at the same location in a lake on the same dates during the course of a year and repeats the measurements on the same dates 5 years later. The researcher immerses a weighted disk painted black and white and measures the depth (in inches) at which it is no longer visible. The collected data is given in the table below. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Observation 1 2 3 4 5 6 Q Date 1f25 3119 5f30 TI3 9113 11]"! Initial Depth, Xi 52.1 50.9 55.9 68.4 71.6 48.6 Depth Five Years LatenYi 49.8 50.3 52.1 68.9 67.3 52.3 a) Why is it important to take the measurements on the same date? A. Using the same dates maximizes the difference in water clarity. B. Using the same dates makes it easier to remember to take samples. 3 C. Using the same dates makes the second sample dependent on the rst and reduces variability in water clarity attributable to date. D. Those are the same dates that all biologists use to take water clarity samples. b) Does the evidence suggest that the clarity of the lake is improving at the II = 0.05 level of signicance? Note that the normal probability plot and boxplot of the data indicate that the differences are approximately normally distributed with no outliers. Let di = Xi - Yi. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: pd = 0' H1: pd
