Back in 1970s, much of the gasoline used in cars contains lead rather than the unlead version found nowadays. A study measured the lead concentration in the air at a highway in Los Angeles USA during weekday afternoons in the Fall of 1976 and 1977. The data is given in lead_concentration.csv. (i) (ii) (iii) [10pt] Load the data into R and make a plot to compare the concentrations in 1976 and 1977 that contains two boxplots, one for the data in each year, arranged side- by-side. (See instructions on R below and check the documentation using help()) [10pt] As a descriptive examination based on the boxplots, which year has a higher lead concentration? What else can you tell from the boxplots? [10pt] Calculate the sample mean and sample standard deviation of the concentration for year 1976 and 1977, after excluding potential outliers (based on the boxplots).
