Temperature and Humidity

By: Nicole Adams, and Amy Schaefer

Tired of feeling hot and cold?•Hot in one classroom•Cold in another•Wanted to test if the temperatures throughout the school are different•Applies to all of us because we don’t know what we need to wear

•If we should bring sweatshirts, or if we are going to be sweating all day•We are the ones sitting in school all day•Can affect learning abilities

•If a student is not comfortable

Procedure

• Numbered Classrooms• Took a SRS of the whole school (35)• Split left and right

– Took 2 individual SRS (30% of classrooms)• 20/68- left , 17/55-right

• Recorded temperature and humidity of rooms– Wednesday 6/4/08 first block

Question

Does the temperature match what the average school

temperature is?

Assumptions

• SRS• normal populations n > 30

Check• SRS taken using calculator• n = 35 > 30

T-TestTemperature

Ho: µ=72°Ha: µ≠72°

P(t<-8.485|df=34) = 6.566 X 10-10

We reject Ho in favor of Ha because the p-value of 6.566 X 10-10 < α = .05. We have sufficient evidence that the mean temperature in the school does not equal 72°.

nsx

t = -8.485

Confidence Interval

• Test at 95% level

• (70.265, 70.935)• We are 95% confident that the mean of the

temperature of the whole school is between 70.265° and 70.935°

Outlier Test

1.5 (71-67) = 6• 67 – 6 = 61%• 71 + 6 = 77%

Anything below 61% and above 77% are outliers• 2 outliers: 53% and 54%

Question

Is the outside humidity higher than the average humidity of the

inside of the school of classrooms in everyday use?

Assumptions

• SRS• normal populations n > 30

Check• SRS taken using calculator• n = 35 > 30

T-testHumidity

Ho:µ = 77% Ha:µ < 77%

P (t < -9.85| df = 34) = 8.57 x 10-12

We reject Ho in favor of Ha because the p-value of 8.57 x 10-12 is < α = .05. We have sufficient evidence that the average humidity inside of the school is less than that outside of the school.

Confidence Interval

95 % test

(67.212, 70.56)We are 95% confident that the average humidity

inside of the school is between 67.212 and 70.56 degrees.

Question

Is the temperature on the left side of the school warmer than on the

right side of the school?

Assumptions

• 2 independent SRS• 2 normal populations or n1 and n2 > 30

Check• 2 SRS taken using calculator• Small population so took 30%-part of our

error

of .9821 is > than α = .05. We have sufficient evidence that the mean of right side of temperature is not less than the mean of the left side temperature.

Personal Opinions

• Thought right was cooler because sun hit the left in the morning

• First thought temperature changed but humidity’s were changing

• Mr. Lafferty’s classroom compared to Boy’s Locker room

• Found it interesting that temperatures did not fit what the school claims to be, a bit cooler

• Rooms being cold and hot are in our heads but the humidity is what is changing.

Errors/Bias

• Population is very small- 123 rooms (everyday use)• Time of day/position of the sun (could change throughout the

day)• Different set temperatures around the school• Thermometer only adjusted in room for 30 seconds• If students were in the room or not• Could change day to day since humidity was changing

– Wednesday was humid and wet out.
