QuestionAn employment information service claims the mean annual salary for senior level product engineers is $99,000\$ 99,000. The annual salaries (in dollars) for a random sample of 16 senior level product engineers are shown in the table to the right. At α=0.05\alpha=0.05, test the claim that the mean salary is $99,000\$ 99,000. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. Assume the population is normally \begin{tabular}{|rrrr|} \hline \multicolumn{4}{|c|}{ Annual Salaries } \\ \hline & & & \\ 100,721 & 96,352 & 93,492 & 112,654 \\ & & & \\ & & & \\ 82,506 & 74,216 & 76,957 & 80,939 \\ 102,543 & 76,238 & 103,925 & 104,037 \\ 91,066 & 82,017 & 85,015 & 110,330 \\ \hline \end{tabular} distributed. (a) Identify the claim and state H0\mathrm{H}_{0} and Ha\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{a}}. H0:μ=99000\mathrm{H}_{0}: \mu=99000 Ha:μ\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{a}}: \mu μ\mu (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) The claim is the null hypothesis. (b) Use technology to find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s).
The critical value(s) is/are t0=t_{0}= \square . (Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Studdy Solution
Make a decision about the null hypothesis:
The test statistic (-2.14) falls in the rejection region (< -2.13 or > 2.13).
Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.
In conclusion, there is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean salary for senior level product engineers is 99,000.Thedatasuggeststhatthetruemeansalaryisdifferentfrom99,000. The data suggests that the true mean salary is different from 99,000.
