Conduct a hypothesis test to test the hypothesis that cloud seeding with silver nitrate increases rainfall. Use significance level 0.1. Based on what you observed in answering the previous question, are you confident that this is a valid test? If not, what assumptions are violated?

Do I use the one sample t-test, two sample t-test, or the paired t-test?
