INDEPENDENT T-TEST FOR CAR DATA
This test is checking if the number of cylinders in the car affects the displacement. This test
specifically focuses on cars with 6 and 4 cylinders.

assumed
The significance is 0.025 which is less than 0.05, so the null hypothesis is rejected because there
is a significant difference between the mean displacements for cars with 4 and 6 cylinders.
ONE WAY ANOVA TEST
The test is checking if the age of the respondents affects their opinion of a reasonable monthly
water bill.

Total 36.875 71
The significance is 0.073. This is greater than 0.05, so there is no significant difference in the
opinions a reasonable monthly water bill, so the null hypothesis is accepted.
LINEAR REGRESSION TEST
This test is checking if the total chlorine in water is dependent on the chloroform content in the
water.

Model (Selected) R Square Square Estimate
1 .257a .066 -.006 .35254
a. Predictors: (Constant), Chloroform(µg/L)
The correlation coefficient is 0.257, showing there is a weak positive linear relationship between
the total chlorine and the amount of chloroform in the water.

b. Selecting only cases for which Group1 < 3.00
R2 is 0.066, which shows the data is not very close to its fitted regression line.
PAIRED SAMPLES T-TEST
This test checks if there is a significant difference between the amount of free chlorine in the
water and the total amount of chlorine in the water.

The significance is 0.006, less than 0.05. This shows that there is a significant difference
between the amount of free chlorine in the water and the amount of total chlorine.
ONE SAMPLE T-TEST
To test the deviation of the pipe diameters from the chosen standard 140mm.

The significance is 0.006, which is less than 0.05, so there is a significant deviation from pipe
diameter of140mm.
