Suppose that we want investigate whether men’s average earning exceeds women’s average earning more than RM20 per week in a certain workplace. A sample of 60 men earn an average of RM 294 per week with a standard deviation of RM 16, while a sample of 60 women earn an average of RM 265 per week with a standard deviation of RM 18. What can we conclude at a 1% significance level? Assume the two population variance are not equal.
