For each exercise, perform these steps. Assume that all variables are normally or approximately normally distributed.
a.State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
b.Find the critical value(s) or use the P-value method.
c.Compute the test value.
d.Make the decision.
e.Summarize the results.
Use the traditional method of hypothesis testing unless the P-value method is specified by your instructor.
5.Teachers’ Salaries A random sample of 15 teachers from Rhode Island has an average salary of $35,270, with a standard deviation of $3256. A random sample of 30 teachers from New York has an average salary of $29,512, with a standard deviation of $1432. Is there a significant difference in teachers’ salaries between the two states? Use α = 0.02. Find the 98% confidence interval for the difference of the two means. Use P Value Method. Please show your work/do by hand
Answer: 5.H0: μ1 = μ2 and H1: μ1 ≠ μ2 (claim); C.V. = ±2.624; d.f. = 14; t = 6.540; reject. Yes, there is enough evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the teachers’ salaries. $3447.80 < μ1 – μ2 < $8068.20 P < 0.0001

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is
approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the
Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some
situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small
amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.
