5. Two different methods are used for predicting the shear strength for steel plate girders. Nine specific girders are randomly selected, and the shear strength measurement is made using each method. The data are shown below:

Girder Karlsruch Method Lehigh Method
1 1.186 1.061
2 1.151 0.992
3 1,322 1.063
4 1.339 1.062
5 1.200 1.065
6 1.402 1.178
7 1.365 1.037
8 1.537 1.068
9 1.559 1.052

Determine whether there is any difference (on the average) between the two methods.
