Every 90 minutes routine readings are made of the level of asbestos fiber
present in the air of an industrial plant. A salesperson claimed that spraying
with chemical S-142 could be beneficial. Arrangements were made for
a comparative trial in the plant itself. Four consecutive readings, the first
without S-142 and the second with S-142 were as follows: 8, 6, 3, and 4. In
light of past data collected without S-142, given below, do you think S-142
works? Explain your answer.
