| Conclusion | Waihi North Project Air Discharge Assessment - Waihi Surface Facilities | 4396626-1331619777-99 | 16/06/2022 | 76 Statistical Analysis A non-parametric Wilcoxon Rank Sum test was carried out to determine whether there are any differences between mean values of monthly dust deposition data collected between Jan 2000 – December 2020 from the different monitoring locations. The P values were adjusted by the Bonferroni method. Table E1 summarises the results of the test. P values lower than 0.05 are highlighted in blue. These values indicate that there is some statistical evidence to indicate there is a difference between the distributions of the dust deposition rate at the two monitoring sites. Table C1.

The P values were adjusted by the Bonferroni method. Table E2 summarises the results of the test. P values lower than 0.05 are highlighted in blue. These values indicate that there is some statistical evidence to indicate there is a difference between the TSP concentrations recorded at the two monitoring sites. Table C2.
