We are interested in whether or not the average cost of a house in Canton, NY (the hometown of the Lock family) is significantly different from the national average of $265,000. Table 6.5 and the histogram in Figure 6.19 show the cost (in thousands of dollars) of a sample of 10 houses for sale in Canton. These prices are stored in HomesForSaleCanton. Do the appropriate test to determine if the sample provides evidence that the average price of a house in Canton is different from the national average.
