A hydrologist wants to compare the mean monthly precipitation at 2 different hydrological monitoring stations. He randomly collected the monthly precipitation at each station, and the data are provided: Station 1: 118.78, 37.03, 75.78, 97.42, 121.90, 68.52, 49.07, 125.66, 104.94, 75.34, 60.87, 70.28 Station 2: 82.94, 103.51, 70.73, 176.38, 55.73, 138.61, 100.55, 176.87, 37.62, 78.40, 86.49, 93.05 Choose the most appropriate method to evaluate whether the 2 stations have the same mean monthly precipitation. Include the steps of hypothesis testing. Do this question by hand. Data Source: US Geological Survey, unit: mm.
