(a) Use a 0.05 level of significance and test the hypothesis that there is no difference between the starting annual salaries of public accountants and financial planners.
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
O Ho: The two populations of salaries are not identical.
H₂: The two populations of salaries are identical.
O Ho: Median salary for public accountants - Median salary for financial planners 20
H₂: Median salary for public accountants - Median salary for financial planners < 0
O Ho: Median salary for public accountants - Median salary for financial planners ≤ 0
H₂: Median salary for public accountants - Median salary for financial planners > 0
O Ho: Median salary for public accountants - Median salary for financial planners > 0
H₂: Median salary for public accountants - Median salary for financial planners = 0
ⒸH: The two populations of salaries are identical.
