An economist wants to compare the economic growth rate (%) within 50 kilometers and 100 kilometers to cities in a country. He collected 6 cities of the country, and calculated the growth rates with 50km and 100km as shown in the following table. Choose an appropriate test to validate that regions within 100km have higher economic growth rate than the regions within 50km to cities. You can make certain assumptions, but need to write to indicate your assumption. Show calculations by hand.
