You are welcome to use MATLAB, Excel Your report should be professional (i.e., typed, graphics produced using computer, etc.). Repetitive calculations may be included in neat hand-written form on engineering paper in an appendix at the end of your report. 3Project Generalities: This project will facilitate assimilation of and practicing with concepts discussed in class. The emphasis of this project is in basic statistics, regression analysis and hypothesis testing. Project Objectives: The objectives of the final project are to promote material assimilation and test whether learning has taken place. In particular, the concepts that will be practiced and tested are: Calculation of basic statistics Linear regression Testing for significance of slope Hypothesis testing Project Specifics: The New Mexico State Department of Transportation (DOT), through their Project Officer Mr. U. R. Hired, has retained your consulting team in order to provide guidance for the design of a filter system that is to be installed in a highway embankment. Your team has conducted a field sampling campaign and collected soil embankment data for porosity n (relatively inexpensive to measure) and hydraulic conductivity K (relatively expensive to measure). These data are tabulated below (Wierenga et al., 1989): POROSITY HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY (CM/SEC) 0.345 0.0098 0.352 0.0079 0.323 0.0034 0.311 0.0068 0.329 0.0053 0.301 0.0058
