HYPOTHESIS: MEAN X = MEAN Y
SAMPLES SELECTED FROM SALARY
$X =$ Consumer Products
$\mathrm { Y } =$ Telecommunications

SAMPLE MEAN OF $X = 1761$
SAMPLE VARIANCE OF $X = \quad 3.97555$ E6
SAMPLE SIZE OF $X = 21$
SAMPLE MEAN OF $Y = 1093.5$
SAMPLE VARIANCE OF $Y = 103255$
SAMPLE SIZE OF $\mathrm { Y } = \quad 21$


MEAN X-MEAN $\mathrm { Y } = \quad 667.5$
test statistic $= \quad 1.47809$
D. F. $= 40$
P-VALUE $= \quad 0.147626$

A) Reject $H _ { 0 }$ if $t > 1.684$ .
B) Reject $H _ { 0 }$ if $t > 1.684$ or $t < - 1.684$ .
C) Reject $H _ { 0 }$ if $t > 2.021$ .
D) Reject $H _ { 0 }$ if $t > 2.021$ or $t < - 2.021$ .
