7. Teacher Salaries A teacher’s union representative claims that there is a difference in the salaries earned by teachers in Wisconsin and Michigan. The table shows the salaries (in thousands of dollars) of a random sample of 11 teachers from Wisconsin and 12 teachers from Michigan. At a = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the representative’s claim? (Adapted from National Education Association)
