Math Problem Statement
A personnel director in a particular state claims that the mean annual income is greater in one of the state's counties (county A) than it is in another county (county B). In County A, a random sample of 10 residents has a mean annual income of $ 40 comma 300 and a standard deviation of $ 8500. In County B, a random sample of 2 residents has a mean annual income of $ 39 comma 900 and a standard deviation of $ 5500. At alphaequals0.10, answer parts (a) through (e). Assume the population variances are not equal. If convenient, use technology to solve the problem. Question content area bottom Part 1 (a) Identify the claim and state Upper H 0 and Upper H Subscript a. Which is the correct claim below? A. "The mean annual income in county A is less than in county B." B. "The mean annual incomes in counties A and B are not equal." C. "The mean annual incomes in counties A and B are equal." D. "The mean annual income in county A is greater than in county B."
