• The tabular t value for an a = 0.1 and n-1 degrees of freedom (d.f.)for the redaimed area in 2000 is <br />as follows: <br />Reclaimed Area Tabular tvalue =1.7109 <br />Calculation of the f statistic for the reclaimed community results in the following value: <br />Reclaimed Area i< statistic= 12.6747 <br />Comparison of the calculated t-statistic (C) for the redaimed community wRh the respective tabular t value <br />indicates that P is far greater than t,. Therefore it can be concluded that the ground cover performance <br />standard was met at the required significance level of a = 0.1 for the redaimed area in 2000. <br />3.3 Production <br />Evaluation of the production variable in accordance with Rules 3.03 and 4.15 utilizing the testing <br />• protocols detailed above also results in a positive finding regarding the 2000 sampling data. In this <br />regard, review of the second portion of Table RS 1 indicates that the mean yearly perennial production of <br />the reclaimed area substantially exceeds 90% of the analogous value for the extended reference area for <br />2000. In 2000, the revegetated area mean (82.99 g/0.5m~ is far greater than 90% of the value of the <br />extended reference azea (12.25 g/0.5m~. This finding is validated statistically using the one-sample <br />reverse null hypothesis test. The decision rules for this test were: <br />If r s t Sian-i ar.>, conclude failure to meet the performance standard, and <br />If t > t ~iaN~ Q,.~conclude that the performance standard was met (for a = 0.1). <br />The tabular t value for an a = 0.1 and n-1 degrees of freedom (d.i.) for the redaimed area for 2000 <br />is as follows: <br />Reclaimed Area Tabular tvalue =1.6883 <br />Calculation of the C statistic for the reclaimed community results in the following value: <br />Reclaimed Area t` statistic= 17.6382 <br />6.'61mA64 6~®S o~, rNC.
