Statistical Significance between two averages (geography)

Hi.
I am not even sure if this is possible. I'm doing a project for geography and I want to work out if there is a statistical significance between two averages. Is this possible and if so could you try to explain it in very basic language. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks x

Without access to the data, etc, I'm not sure what conclusions can be drawn. Also, I'm afraid I'm a bit confused regarding what you're needing to have "explained"? I mean, you've taken whatever statistics courses were required prerequisites for this course (haven't you?), so you should be able to specify what it is you're needing: show what you've done (or at least attempted) so far, and clearly state where you're stuck.

Please be complete. Thank you!
