Windy, part II. In Exercise 10, we saw summary statistics for wind speeds at two sites near each other, both being considered as locations for an electricity-generating wind turbine. The data, recorded every 6 hours for a year, showed each of the sites had a mean wind speed high enough to qualify, but how can we tell which site is best? Here are some displays:


a) The boxplots show outliers for each site, yet the histogram shows none. Discuss why.
b) Which of the summaries would you use to select between these sites? Why?
c) Using the information you have, discuss the assumptions and conditions for paired t inference for these data. (Hint: Think hard about the independence assumption in particular.)
Exercise 10:
Windy, part I. To select the site for an electricitygenerating wind turbine, wind speeds were recorded at several potential sites every 6 hours for a year. Two sites not far from each other looked good. Each had a mean wind speed high enough to qualify, but we should choose the site with a higher average daily wind speed. Because the sites are near each other and the wind speeds were recorded at the same times, we should view the speeds as paired. Here are the summaries of the speeds (in miles per hour):

Is there a mistake in this output? Why doesn’t the Pythagorean Theorem of Statistics work here? In other words, shouldn’tÂ

 not 2.551 as given by the software. Explain why this happened.
