Question

The president of the country where University

A and B are, does not believe the result of your analysis. The president goes to

University A and picks at random one entry-level PhD employee.  The salary of the employee

is $48,900. The president then goes over to University B, picks at random one

entry-level PhD employee, and the salary of that employee is $95,300. The president

therefore claims that your analysis is fake/mistaken.

a.

How many standard deviations is $48,900 from $58,500, and how many standard

deviations is $95,300 from $60,200?

b.

Use the result from part “a” to derive a counter argument and defend your result from

problem 2 (elaborate and explain in detail your argument; I expect at least 4-5 sentences).

c.

Give a detailed argument why the president's claims are not valid.

d.

Provide one more detailed argument.

standard deviations 3200 and 11700
