Assuming the two sites are hydrologically well connected, the transit time between the two sites is fast, and the two sites cannot be treated as independent samples, what kind of t-test should be performed to show that the upslope site is greater than the downslope site? Enter the letter of your answer choice in the answer blank
A. one-tailed unpaired t-test
B. two-tailed unpaired t-test
C. one-tailed paired t-test
D. two-tailed paired t-test
What is the calculated t statistic, rounded to 4 decimal places?
Is the calculated t statistic greater or less than the critical t value reported by the data analysis tool pack? (enter greater or less)
Is the nitrate concentration at the upslope site significantly greater than the downslope site? (Enteryes or no)
Based on this statistical result, and assuming no diffusion or dilution occurs between the upslope and downslope site, do you think microbes are removing NO3- from the ground water? (Enter yes or no)
