Answer;

-Waves

Explanation;

-The main evidence for the structure of the Earth comes from studying waves generated during an earthquake. When stress builds up and rocks at depth break, then elastic waves, just like sound waves are sent from the point of rupture. These waves speed out and move through the earth.

-When seismometers are put on the surface of the Earth, these waves can be measured. In particular, if we have enough seismic stations and the quake is big enough, then we can take all the travel time information and invert it. That means we can obtain a graph that shows the density of rock as a function of depth.

-Once we know the density we can estimate what the actual materials are. We find that the earth has a small inner core made out of iron surrounded by a larger outer liquid iron core and that is surrounded by a rocky mantle and rocky crust.

A potential problem is that you are willing to accept a <u>5% </u>chance of being wrong if you reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis if it is true. For example, a significance level of 0.05 indicates a 5% risk of concluding that there is a difference when there is actually no difference. Rejecting the true null hypothesis results in a Type I error.

The smaller the value of α the more difficult it is to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, choosing a low value for α can reduce the likelihood of Type I errors. The result here is that if the null hypothesis is false, it may be more difficult to reject using a lower value for α. The alpha value or statistical significance threshold is arbitrary. Which value to use depends on your field of study.
