Introduction Muon Flux 5Lin - WilksProblem StatementWhich angle 0, 45 or 90 degrees to the north/south horizontal would acquire the highest muon flux6
uuuLin - WilksMuon DetectoruuuuuuuuuHypothesis The muon sensors at 90 degrees from the north/south horizontal would have the highest muon flux7

20Lin - WilksStatistical Test: Two-Sample t TestResults (0ne-Fold, 0 degrees vs. 45 degrees)T-value = 25.3973 Means 25.3973 deviations apartP-value = 4.43x10^-35Below the 0.05 accepted significance levelMeans that there is a 4.43x10^-35 chance of getting data like this if null hypothesis is true
21Lin - WilksStatistical Test: Two-Sample t TestResults (0ne-Fold, 45 degrees vs. 90 degrees)T-value = 29.404 Means 29.404 deviations apartP-value = 3.55x10^-44 Below the 0.05 accepted significance levelMeans that there is a 3.55x10^-44 chance of getting data like this if null hypothesis is true
