The following data set refers to count of particulate matter in 16 hospitals rooms across Boston. As you can see, this is an experiment designed to determine the impact of carpeting on particulate matter. To this effect, an equal sample of 8 rooms were selected for both the categories and the levels of particulate matter were noted i.e. half the hospital rooms were carpeted and the other half were uncarpeted. Looking at the data, can you conclude at an alpha = 0.05 if the level of particulate matter is different in the two room types? Carpeted 11.8 8.2 7.1 13.0 10.8 10.1 14.6 14.0 Uncarpeted 12.1 8.3 7.2 12.0 11.1 10.1 13.7

The following data set refers to count of particulate matter in 16 hospitals rooms across Boston. As you
can see, this is an experiment designed to determine the impact of carpeting on particulate matter. To
this effect, an equal sample of 8 rooms were selected for both the categories and the levels of
particulate matter were noted i.e. half the hospital rooms were carpeted and the other half were
uncarpeted. Looking at the data, can you conclude at an alpha = 0.05 if the level of particulate matter is
different in the two room types?
