A local home inspector wants to test for lead levels in 10 homes using two different testing methods in each of the homes to determine the level of lead in each of the homes. Two different tests (A and B) are used to determine the level of lead found in each of ten randomly selected homes. The home inspector believes that Test A is more accurate than Test B. The data obtained, for lead level in each home using each method is shown in the table below. SPECIMEN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 A 22.7 23.6 24.0 26.6| 27.2 28.7 35.0 32.5 44.1 47.3 Test 23.0 23.2 23.5 | 25.6 27 27.1 33.2 35.3 40.5 | 47.8 a. Does this data provide convincing evidence to support the home inspectors claim? Provide a statistical justification to support your answer.
