- Pag 73°F Partly sunny A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in Texas and Indiana. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the mean annual income of childcare workers in Texas is less than the mean annual income of childcare workers in Indiana. To see if this is true, the firm selected a random sample of 10 childcare workers from Texas and an independent random sample of 10 childcare workers from Indiana and asked them to report their mean annual income. The data obtained were as follows.
