Standard deviation for mean annual income of teachers


Assignment:

Q: Past records suggest that the mean annual income, mu 1, of teachers in state of Georgia is greater than or equal to the mean annual income, mu 2, of teachers in Indiana. In a current study, a random sample of 20 teachers from Georgia and an independent random sample of 20 teachers from Indiana have been asked to report their mean annual income.The data obtained are as follows.

Georgia:
30805, 42080, 48765, 47088, 39466, 36393, 47526, 35985, 39033, 36565, 39248, 39853, 32993, 35535, 39787, 44264, 41197, 35636, 36553, 48459

Indiana:
51421, 33665, 32293, 41780, 31491, 39531, 33030, 33946, 41308, 38789, 36184, 43273, 38914, 43347, 54551, 46510, 53308, 47940, 35383, 30440

The population standard deviation for mean annual income of teachers in Georgia and in Indiana are estimated as 6500 and 6600, respectively. It is also known that both populations are approximately normally distributed. At the 0.1level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean annual income of teachers in state of Georgia is greater than or equal to the mean annual income of teachers in Indiana? Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table below.

Problem:

Null hypothesis: H0:

Alternative hypothesis: H1:

Type of test statistic: (Z, t, Chi squared, F)

Value of test statistic:

Critical value at the 0.1 level of significance:

Can we reject the claim that the mean annual income of teachers from Georgia is greater than or equal to the mean annual income of teachers from Indiana?: (Yes/No)
