9. Rating Teaching Applicants A high school principal formed a review board consisting of five teachers who were asked to interview 12 applicants for a vacant teaching position and rank them in order of merit. Seven of the applicants held college degrees but had limited teaching experience. Of the remaining five applicants, all had college degrees and substantial experience. The review board’s rankings are given in the table.

Do these rankings indicate that the review board considers experience a prime factor in the selection of the best candidates? Test using a 5.05.
