Fishing: Shore or Boat? Is fishing better from a boat or from the shore? Pyramid Lake is located on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. Presidents, movie stars, and people who just want to catch fish go to Pyramid Lake for really large cutthroat trout. Let row B represent hours per fish caught fishing from the shore, and let row A represent hours per fish caught using a boat. The following data are paired by month from October through April (Source: Pyramid Lake Fisheries, Paiute Reservation, Nevada).

Oct. Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. March April B: Shore 1.6 1.8 2.0 3.2 3.9 3.6 3.3 A: Boat 1.5 1.4 1.6 2.2 3.3 3.0 3.8 Use a 1% level of significance to test if there is a difference in the population mean hours per fish caught using a boat compared with fishing from the shore.
