The article "Polyhedral Distortions in Tourmaline" (A. Eril, J. Hughes, et al., The Canadian
Mineralogist, 2002 153-162) presents a model for calculating bond-length distortion in
vanadium-bearing tourmaline. To check the accuracy of the model, several calculated
values (x) were compared with directly observed values (y) The results (read from a graph)
are presented in the following table.

The article "Effect of Microstructure and Weathering on the Strength Anisotropy of Porous
Rhyolite" (Y. Matsukura, K. Hashizume, and C. Oguchi, Engineering Geology, 2002:39-
17) investigates the relationship between the angle betwween cleavage and flow structure and
the strength of porous rhyolite. Strengths (in MPa) were measured for a mumber of
specimens cut at various angles. The mean and standard deviation of the strengths for each

- 2. The level of dissolved oxygen in the surface water of a lake is vital to maintaining the lake's ecosystem. Environmentalists from the University of Wisconsin monitored the dissolved oxygen levels over time for a sample of 25 lakes in the state (Aquatic Biology, May 2010). To ensure a representative sample, the environmentalists focused on several lake characteristics, including dissolved organic compound (DOC). The DOC data (measured in grams per cubic-meters) for the 25 lakes are listed in the accompanying table. The population of Wisconsin lakes has a mean DOC value of 15 grams/m3. Use a hypothesis test (at a = .10) to make an inference about whether the sample is representative of all Wisconsin lakes for the characteristic, dissolved organic compound.
