Textbook Question
Chapter 6.9, Problem 13E
A firm has a generous but rather complicated policy concerning end-of-year bonuses for its lower-level managerial personnel. The policy’s key factor is a subjective judgment of “contribution to corporate goals.” A personnel officer took samples of 24 female and 36 male managers to see whether there was any difference in bonuses, expressed as a percentage of yearly salary. The data are listed here:
- a. What are the populations of interest in this study?
- b. Is there significant evidence that the mean bonus percentage for males is more than five units larger than the mean bonus percentage for females? Use α = .05.
- c. What is the level of significance of your test?
- d. Estimate the difference in the mean bonus percentages for males and females using a 95% confidence interval.
