Starting Salaries As a group, students majoring in the engineering disciplines have the highest salary expectations, followed by those studying the computer science fields, according to results of NACE’s 2010 Student Survey.12 To compare the starting salaries of college graduates majoring in engineering and computer science, random samples of 50 recent college graduates in each major were selected and the following information obtained:

a. Find a point estimate for the difference in the average starting salaries of college students majoring in engineering and computer science. What is the margin of error for your estimate?

b. Based upon the results in part a, do you think that there is a significant difference in the average starting salaries for engineers and computer scientists? Explain.
