Team C is taken salaries from 15 randomly selected MLB teams in two conferences. At α = .05, is there a difference in the mean for all teams in the American League and National League? We think it is unlikely that there is a significant difference, but we will do a test of means to see whether our intuition is correct.

To check for a significant difference without regard for its direction, we choose a two-tailed test. The hypotheses to be tested are

H0: μ1 = μ2
H1: μ1 _= μ2
Step 3: Calculate the Test Statistic
The sample statistics are

x1 = 83.538 x2 = 81.057
s1 = 11.015 s2 = 19.382
n1 = 8 n2 = 7

The pooled variance s 2
p is
