- A random sample of soil specimens was taken from a large geographic area. The specimens can be assumed to be independent. The amount of organic matter, as a percent, was determined for each specimen. The data are below:0.14, 0.32, 1.17, 1.45, 3.5, 5.02, 5.09, 5.22A soil scientist wants to know whether the population mean percent organic matter is different than 4%. Asignificance level of α = 0.05 is chosen. (a) State hypotheses appropriate to the research question. (b) Graph the data as you see fit. Why did you choose the graph(s) that you did and what does it (do they) tell you? (c) Regardless of your conclusion from (b), use the bootstrap to perform a test of the hypotheses you stated in (a). Use B = 8000 resamplings. Compute the p-value, and make a reject or not reject conclusion. Then state the conclusion in the context of the problem.
