NASA scientists obtained the following data from airborne radiometer scans using the ESTAR method of aperature synthesis Soil Mo

Jackson, "ESTAR: A Synthetic Aperature Microwave Radiometer for Remote Sensing Applications," Proceedings of the IEEE, December 1994, p. 1795 These data represent sample measurements taken over the 220-240 degree K brightness temperature range. The theoretical model states that the mean volumetric soil moisture percentage should be 13.5%. Use the confidence interval approach to conclude whether the sample data support or refute the null hypothesis that the mean ESTAR measurements equal the theoretical level, using a .05 level of significance. Lower 95% confidence limit Upper 95% confidence limit . What is your conclusion?
