The problem is to determine whether a sample of cities and towns
drawn from the western part of Kansas are farther apart (i.e.
greater), on average, than that for the population as a whole (i.e.
the State of Kansas). This might reflect this region's low
income generating capacity. The average distance between
nearest neighbors for the 22 cities and towns in the eastern end of
the state was 6.1 miles with a standard deviation of 1.3. The
mean distance between nearest neighbors for all cities and towns in
Kansas was 4.55 miles.
