Hypothesis test to determine if one attractor is effective


Two types of fish attractors, one made from vitrified clay pipes and the other from cement blocks and brush, were used during 16 different time periods spanning 4 years at Lake Tohopekaliga, Florida. The following observations are of fish caught per fishing day.

Period Pipe Brush Diff.
1 0.20 0.48 -0.28
2 2.00 2.33 -0.33
3 5.06 5.38 -0.32
4 0.78 0.79 -0.01
5 0.57 0.32 0.25
6 0.52 0.76 -0.24
7 0.31 0.52 -0.21
8 0.43 0.91 -0.48
9 0.49 0.75 -0.26
10 1.05 1.61 -0.56
11 5.94 6.53 -0.59
12 0.77 0.83 -0.06
13 2.03 2.17 -0.14
14 8.09 8.21 -0.12
15 0.83 0.56 0.27
16 0.62 0.75 -0.13

Using these data apply the appropriate method for a Hypothesis Test to determine if one attractor appears to be more effective on average than the other? Use an .05 level of significance.
