Motorcycle insurance appraisers examine motorcycles that have been involved in accidental collisions to assess the cost of repairs. An insurance executive is concerned that different appraisers produce significantly different assessments. In an experiment 10 motorcycles that have recently been involved in accidents were shown to two appraisers. Each assessed the estimated repair costs. These results are shown below. Can the executive conclude at the 5% significance level that the appraisers differ in their assessments?
