An economist wants to compare home ownership in her hometown versus home ownership in the state in which she lives. Statewide, she found that 68% of adults own their home compared to 57% of those surveyed in her city. The median price paid for a home within the
state was $148,500. The median home price paid by survey respondents in the economist's city was $152,300. The average number of
years a responding city resident has lived in their home is 9 years. In comparison, the average number of years someone in the state has
lived in their home is 4 years.
