Using the Salary Data Set what is the probability of randomly selecting one individual (male or female) with a current annual salary of over $55,000?

You are a consultant working for Kaplan Consulting. The Director of Human Resources for a multi-national company has requested help in investigating a pay discrimination complaint brought by a female executive. The company provided the data in the Salary Data Set. Use PHStat and the appropriate t test, to investigate the claim of pay discrimination in the current salaries. Be sure to include:

1. Your null and alternative hypotheses;

2. The level of alpha you elect to use and why in terms of Type I or Type II error;

3. Show the output from the analysis;

4. Your interpretation of the results; and

5. A written statement to the director of Human Resources as to whether they should be concerned about the complaint.
