The hair matched the color of the victim's hair. The victim had been previously exposed to high levels of lead and the two sample of hair were analyzed for led with the following results:

Victims' Hair:
1----> 70ppm Pb
2----> 75ppm Pb
3----> 74ppm Pb
4----> 73ppm Pb

Hair taken from the accussed:

1----> 69ppm Pb
2----> 71ppm Pb
3----> 68ppm Pb
4----> 70ppm Pb

Would you testiy in court that the two hair samples were the same? (Provide calculations to support your claims)
