Are biomedical engineering salaries in Miami less than those in Minnesota? Salary data show that staff biomedical engineers in Miami earn less than those in Minnesota. Suppose that in a follow-up study of 35 staff engineers in Miami and 45 staff engineers in Minnesota you obtain the following results: Miami Minnesota
n1 = 35 n2 = 45
x1 = $64,150 x1 = $65,450
s1 = $2000 s2 = 2500

Required:
a. Formulate a hypothesis statement so that if the null hypothesis is rejected, we can conclude that Miami biomedical engineering salaries are significantly lower than those in Minnesota.
b. The standard deviations for both populations can be assumed equal, write out the statistic you would use.
c. What would be your decision rule? (Use α = 0.05)
d. What is the value of your statistic?
