a. The article reports that a 95% confidence interval for μM, the population mean salary of all males with postgraduate degrees, is ($57,050, $65,631). Based on this interval, is there evidence that μM differs from $60,000? Explain.
b.Use the summary information to test the hypothesis that the truemean salary of males with postgraduate degrees differs from $60,000. Take
c.Explain why the inferences in parts a and b agree.
d.The article reports that a 95% confidence interval for μM, the population mean salary of all females with postgraduate degrees, is ($30,396, $34,058). Based on this interval, is there evidence that μM differs from $33,000? Explain.
e. Use the summary information to test the hypothesis that the true mean salary of females with postgraduate degrees differs from $33,000. Take α = .05 ( Note : .
f. Explain why the inferences in parts d and e agree.
