In performing statistical comparisons for ground cover, results of randomly assigned line-point transects will be compared to the success standard of seventy percent ground cover at a ninety percent confidence interval, as illustrated in the following example:
Null hypothesis: ground cover on release area >= 70% ground cover
Alternate hypothesis: ground cover on release area < 70% ground cover
| release area sample results (x) | ground cover standard | x2 |
| Assume that it took 10 samples to achieve sample adequacy | 41% | 70% |
| 72% | ||
| 89% | ||
| 42% | ||
| 69% | ||
| 80% | ||
| 42% | ||
| 57% | ||
| 77% | ||
| 89% | ||
| [SIGMA]x = | 658% | [SIGMA] x2 = 46,574 |
Since .695 < 1.38, the null hypothesis is not rejected. It can then be determined that the ground cover on the release area is greater than or equal to the target ground cover.
