You are the Parks and Rec Director for the City of Ceres. You are hoping to gain extra funding in next years budget since you feel that your budget is too low. You would like to show the City Manager and the City Council that the average attendance for this year is higher than last year and that number (i.e. attendance of city residents in thousands of residents) is statistically significant. Last year (2019) the average attendance was 31,456 per month.

Below is the data for this year (2020)
