with incomes of $40,000 to $50,000. The respective standard deviations were $2,100 and $150.
They were obtained from sample sizes of 150.
1. the statistical test obtained is 45.9741 and p value is 0.0000. Test whether the benefits
to the high income group are at least $7,500 more than the benefits to the low income
group using = 0:05. Make sure to state the null and the alternative hypotheses. Assume
bene ts are normally distributed for both income groups.
