Suppose a certain state university's college of business obtained the following results on the salaries of a recent graduating class:
Finance Majors | Business Analytics Majors |
---|---|
n1 = 120 |
n2 = 30 |
x1 = $48,237 |
x2 = $55,417 |
s1 = $19,000 |
s2 = $10,000 |
(a) Formulate hypotheses so that, if the null hypothesis is rejected, we can conclude that salaries for Finance majors are significantly lower than the salaries of Business Analytics majors. Use α = 0.05. (Let μ1 = the population mean salary for Finance majors, and let μ2 = the population mean salary for Business Analytics majors. Enter != for ≠ as needed.)
H0:μ1≥μ2
Ha:μ1<μ2
(b) What is the value of the test statistic? (Use μ1 − μ2. Round your answer to three decimal places.)
test statistic = ?
(c) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value = ?
(d) What is your conclusion?
Reject H0. We can conclude that salaries for Finance majors are significantly lower than the salaries of Business Analytics majors.
