In the first 4 questions use alpha = 0.05 in making your decisions on rejecting or not rejecting the null hypothesis. Below are 2 one-sample t-tests comparing male and female average salaries to the overall sample mean. (Note: a one-sample t-test in Excel can be performed by selecting the 2-sample unequal variance t-test and making the second variable = Ho value - a Note: These values are not the same as the data the assignment uses. The purpose is to analyze the results of t-tests rather than directly answer our eq Based on these results, how do you interpret the results and what do these results suggest about the population means for male and female average sal Males Ho: Mean salary = Ha: Mean salary =/= Females Ho: Mean salary = Ha: Mean salary =/= 45.00 45.00 45.00 45.00 Note: While the results both below are actually from Excel's t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Unequal Variances, having no variance in the Ho variable makes the calculations default to the one-sample t-test outcome - we are tricking Excel into doing a one sample Male Ho Female Ho Mean 52 45 Mean 38 45 Variance 316 0 Variance 334.66667 0 Observations 25 25 Observations 25 25 Hypothesized Mean Difference df t Stat P(T<=t) one-tail t Critical one-tail P(T<=t) two-tail Hypothesized Mean Difference df t Stat P(T<=t) one-tail t Critical one-tail P(T<=t) two-tail 0 24 1.9689038266 0.0303078503 1.7108820799 0.0606157006 t Critical two-tail 2.0638985616 Conclusion: Do not reject Ho; mean equals 45 t Critical two-tail 2.0638986 Conclusion: Do not reject Ho; mean equals 45 Note: the Female results are done for you, please complete the male results.

P-value greater than (>) rejection alpha Interpretation of test outcomes: Since we do not reject Ho, the results recommend the male and female means could be equal to each other. 2 Based on our sample data set, perform a 2-sample t-test to see if the population male and female average salaries could be equal to each other. (Since we have not yet covered testing for variance equality, assume the data sets have statistically equal variances.)

Results show that males and females cannot have equal, average salaries. b. Is the one or two sample t-test the proper/correct apporach to comparing salary equality? Why? The two sample t-test is the propper/correct approach to comparing salary equlity. This is because the two sample is more efficient and produces resul 3 Based on our sample data set, can the male and female compas in the population be equal to each other? (Another 2-sample t-test.)

Do we REJ or Not reject the null? If the null hypothesis was rejected, calculate the effect size value: If calculated, what is the meaning of effect size measure: Interpretation: 5 If the salary and compa mean tests in questions 2 and 3 provide different results about male and female salary equality, which would be more appropriate to use in answering the question about salary equity? Why? I think that the compa would be the better option to choose. The rerason is because it removes any kind of variation to the measure. What are your conclusions about equal pay at this point? My conclusion so far is that the average salaries are different. The compas do not seem as different as the salaries. lue - a constant.) our equal pay question. age salaries? ample test for us. s results within preffered ranges
