alue of Owner-Occupied Homes

Compare the median values of owner-occupied homes in two groups of housing tracts
Problem

A census study was carried out, in which data was collected from 506 housing tracts in the Boston area. Some of the variables of interest for each tract were median home value, crime rate, relative distance from the Charles River (near or far), percentage of lower economic status families, and so on.

Use a two-sample t-test (with significance level ? = 0.05) to determine whether, on average, the median value of owner-occupied homes near the Charles River is greater than that of homes farther away from it.
