Two formulations of a certain coating, designed to inhibit corrosion, are being tested. For each of eight peoples, half the pipe is coated with formulation A and the other half is coated with formulation B. Each pipe is exposed to a salt environment for 500 hours. Afterward, the corrosion loss is measured for each formulation on each pipe and the results are shown below. Can you conclude that the mean amount of corrosion differs between the two formulation? Setup the test and show your p-value.
