Question

Past records suggest that the mean annual income,

μ1

, of teachers in state of Utah is greater than or equal to the mean annual income,

μ2

, of teachers in Oregon. In a current study, a random sample of

teachers from Utah and an independent random sample of

teachers from Oregon have been asked to report their mean annual income.The data obtained are as follows.

Annual income in dollars

The population standard deviation for mean annual income of teachers in Utah and in Oregon are estimated as

6400

and

6500

, respectively. It is also known that both populations are approximately normally distributed. At the

0.05

level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean annual income of teachers in state of Utah is greater than or equal to the mean annual income of teachers in Oregon? Perform a one-tailed test.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
