Question

A company wants to investigate the salaries of their employees to determine if there is a significant difference between the salaries of male and female employees. They collect the following data: Male employees: 50,000, 60,000, 70,000, 55,000, 62,000, 65,000, 68,000, 54,000, 52,000, 63,000 Female employees: 45,000, 52,000, 58,000, 50,000, 55,000, 59,000, 60,000, 48,000, 53,000, 57,000 Perform a hypothesis test to determine if there is a significant difference between the average salaries of male and female employees at a 95% confidence level.

Salary information regarding male and female employees of a large company is shown below. Male Female Sample Size 64 36 Sample Mean Salary (in $1000) 44 41 *Population Variance (σ2) 128 72 a. What is the point estimate of the difference between the means of the two populations? b. What is the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the means of the two populations? c. If you are interested in testing whether or not the population average salary of males is significantly greater than that of females, the p-value is?

A company wants to check if there is any significant difference between the mean monthly salaries of male and female employees. They take a sample of 9 male employees with a mean salary of $5100 and a standard deviation of $400, and a sample of 10 female employees with a mean salary of $4700 and a standard deviation of $500. Conduct a two-sample t-test at a 0.01 significance level.

Salary information regarding male and female employees of a large company is shown below: Male: 64, 44 Female: 36, 41 Sample Size: 128 Sample Mean Salary (in $1000): 72 Population Variance (σ^2): 02 If you are interested in testing whether or not the population average salary of males is significantly greater than that of females, at α = .05, the conclusion is that the population average salary of males is significantly greater than females.

00:01 So for this problem, the first thing that i'm going to note is that i'll be reporting everything in units of thousands.
00:13 So if i write, for instance, 50, that actually means 50 ,000.
00:20 Just because we have everything is in multiples of 1 ,000, we might as well.
00:27 Or i'll specify that that is for the data.
00:30 The data is in units of 1 ,000.
00:34 Now we know that our level of significance is going to be 0 .05 since we are testing at a 95 % confidence level.
00:41 Our null hypothesis is going to be that there is no difference in the mean values.
00:47 The alternate hypothesis is that there is a difference in the mean values.
00:54 Mu1 minus mu2 does not equal 0.
00:57 Since we don't know the population standard deviations for either one of the values, we'll be doing this as a two -tailed t -test, independent samples.
01:15 So the first thing that we're going to have to do is compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation for the two different data sets.
01:22 So we find the sample mean by adding up all of the individual measurements, then we divide by the number of values.
01:28 Now give me a second here.
01:29 All right, so we have all of our male employees results.
01:35 Taking the sum, we have 599.
01:37 Then we divide that by the number of male employees.
01:39 So that's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
01:43 So 599 over 10 gives a mean value of 59 .9.
01:49 And the sample standard deviation we find as follows.
01:52 We take the square root of the sum of xi minus x bar squared divided by n minus 1.
02:01 So plugging in the values, i'll begin by taking each individual measurement minus 59 .9...
