Temperature Data Analysis 2005-2018

The document contains temperature data from 2005 to 2018 including averages, standard deviations, and results from t-tests. A t-test is performed comparing 2017 temperature data to the long-term average, and the null hypothesis that they are the same is rejected. A separate t-test compares temperature data from 2018 to 2005, and fails to reject the null that their means are equal.

Step #0: What is the data? n=31 days of maximum daily temperature, X 2017 =50.129, s2017
=13.933

Step #1: The null hypothesis is μ2017 = 43.419.

Step #2: Alternative Null μ2017  43.419

50.129−43.419
t ( data )= =2.68135
Step #3: 13.933
√ 31
Step #4: Rej Acc Rej

–t(rej)= -1.697 0 t(rej)= 1.697

Step #5: Conclude reject the null, the data from the year 2017 isn’t consistent with the result
from the long-term average temperature for January.
Step #0 X 2018 =40.935, s2018 = 15.323, X 2005 =46.355, s2005 = 13.622

Step #1: Null: μ2018 = μ2005

Step #2 Alternative Null: μ2018  μ2005

40.935−46.355
t ( data )= =−1.4717
Step #3: 15.323 2 13.6222

Step#4: Pvalue= 0.1464

Step#5 Compare Pvalue to α and interpret the results.


- According to the rule, the pvalue > α therefore will accecpt the null. The years 2018
and 2015 data are consistent with each other.
