Bay area community college (BACC) has collected data comparing the starting salaries of their graduating students with last names beginning with the letters A through M with those whose last names begin with N through Z. The first categorty provided 47 random responses with an average starting salary of $29,426.42 and a standard deviation of $4,521.94. The second category had 52 random responses with an average starting salary of $22,863.81 and a standard deviation for $2,378.66.

b) State the research hypothesis in words and in notation.
c) Calculate the appropriate test statistic.
d) Calculate the appropriate p-value for the test statistic.
e) Is the statistic statistically significant?
f) What type of error if any has been committed?"
