PART B On average, the distance from a roadway has no correlation to the amount of lead in the present
in a playground. The slope of each surfacing type against distance from roadway the slope is very close to
0 for all surfacing types. Next, the differences in the type of surfacing between rubber and the other types

does not show a conclusive difference in average levels of lead. The levels of lead in the rubber was close to
those of sand and mulch while the levels of lead in soil varied a lot.
