Chapter 20 - Inference about a Population Mean - Chapter 20 Exercises - Page 480: 20.41b

Answer

we have n = 3, x̅ = 1.915, s = 1.050, df = 2 $s_{x̅} = \frac{1.050}{\sqrt 3} = 0.606$ $t = \frac{1.915-0}{0.606} = 3.16$ Using Table C of the book we have: 0.025 < P < 0.05 Since P < 0.05, we will reject the Null Hypothesis. Hence, we have sufficient evidence that trees grow faster when CO2 is pumped.
