On 04 January 2008 the wave heights in centimeters were recorded for translating waves on the reef in Piyuul. Waves heights were again recorded in June at that location.

Sums:
Sketch two relative frequency histograms, one for the January data and one for the June data.
____________ Run a t-test for a difference of the mean wave heights for January and June. Use an independent samples t-test. What is the p-value?
____________ What is the maximum confidence c that we can have that the difference between January and June wave heights is significant?
____________ At an alpha α of 5%, would we reject a null hypothesis of no difference in the mean wave heights between January and June or would we fail to reject the null hypothesis?
