HYPOTHIESIS TESTING
A WORKED EXAMPLE: TWO-SAMPLE TEST
Example: Gender pay gap
Suppose we're interested in determining whether, on av-
erage, women and men are paid the same wage. To do
this, we collect a sample of 100 women and 64 men.
From the sample of women, we compute an average wage
of $8.00/hour and a standard deviation of $.20/hour.
From the sample of men, we compute an average wage of
$9.00/hour with a standard deviation of $.30/hour.
Are men paid more than women on average?
