  1. Index of Biotic Integrity. Refer to the Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Sciences (June 2005) analysis of the Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI). The IBI measures the biological condition or health of an aquatic region. Summary data on the IBI for sites located in two Ohio river basins, Muskingum and Hocking, are given in the next table. Conduct a test of hypothesis (at α = .10) to test that the mean IBI values of Hocking river are higher then IBI levels of Muskingum river.
