Before wells were dug - Millions of E.Coli per ml After wells were dug - Millions of E.Coli per ml YOUR NAME: Joe Lope Part 2 – Data Analysis: Enter your name in cell F1 to generate data. You have just completed a mission to Sierra Leone. The goal of the mission was to improve the quality of water in 100 wells in a certain region. You collected data on the E. coli count from each well before and after your mission. You need to write a report on the success of the mission and for that you need to perform some statistical analysis on the data. You will be looking at the data from different perspectives to determine if the water quality has improve. Original Before Data Original After Data Random numbers seed

Part 2 Questions 4-6
Before wells were dug - Millions of E.Coli per ml After wells were dug - Millions of E.Coli per ml Improvement Data: Before - After Part 2 – Data Analysis: You have just completed a mission to Sierra Leone. The goal of the mission was to improve the quality of water in 100 wells in a certain region. You collected data on the E. coli count from each well before (Q1) after your mission (Q2). You need to write a report on the success of the mission and for that you need to perform some statistical analysis on the data. You will be looking at the data from different perspectives to determine if the water quality has improved.
23 52 formula IMPROVEMENTS
21 3 formula min = formula All computations use column D, the "Improvement" data. 4. Since you collected water from the same source twice it makes sense to analyze the amount by which each well’s water quality improved. Calculate a data set that would measure the improvement level of each well, and the descriptive statistics for that data set, including both the standard deviation and standard error (SE) for the data set. (see section 3.5 of the textbook). Make a frequency distribution and histogram for your data. (Calculate the improvement in the water quality of each well in column D. (Difference in Level of e. Coli.) Then, fill out the two tables to the left and make a histogram of the improvement levels. (NOTE: The Standard deviation of this data set is not the same as the standard error. Use the formulas from section 3.5 of the text to calculate the standard error of the means.))

51 37 formula Formula/Number Formula/Number words or formula formula formula 5. You have calculated one sample of 100 wells and their improvement levels. If you could take all possible samples of 100 wells, the distribution of all of those sample means would be a normal distribution. (see section 3.5). Find the 95% confidence interval of that distribution, using your sample mean as the population mean and the standard error of your sample as the population standard deviation. (Calculate the 95% confidence interval of the sampling distribution in cells F24 and H24.)

60 42 formula Formula/Number Formula/Number words or formula formula formula 6. Recall that a 95% confidence interval shows a range of values that is 95% likely to contain the true value of a parameter. For example, if your 95% confidence interval for the average improvement level is (14, 18), it would mean that the true average improvement level is 95% likely to be in the range (14, 18). Now answer each of these questions: a) What would it mean for the average improvement in water quality to be 0? b) Look at the confidence interval you calculated--is the value 0 inside or outside your confidence interval? c) If the value 0 is outside your 95% confidence interval, can you conclude (with 95% confidence) that the water became cleaner? d) What if the value 0 were inside your confidence interval? Could you conclude in that case that the water became cleaner or not?
