According to a high-profile realtor, houses in the sleepy town of Sun Beach have shown higher appreciation over the past three years than have houses in the bustling town of North Arden. To test the realtor's claim, an economist has found fourteen recently sold homes in Sun Beach and fourteen recently sold homes in North Arden that were owned for exactly three years. The following table gives the appreciation (expressed as a percentage increase) for each of the twenty-eight houses.
