Independent random samples of 27 people living on the west side of a city and 26 people living on the east side of a city were taken to determine if the income levels of west side residents are less than the income levels of east side residents. Given the testing statistics below, determine if the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the income levels of west side residents are less than the income levels of east side residents, at the 4% significance level.

  • H0:μw≥μe
    Ha:μw<μe
  • t0=−2.344
  • t0.04=−2.107
