38. [APPLET] Salaries An analyst claims that the mean annual salary for intermediate level electrical engineers in Baltimore, Maryland, is more than the national mean, $86,700. The annual salaries (in dollars) for a random sample of 21 intermediate level electrical engineers in Baltimore are listed. Assume the population is normally distributed and the population standard deviation is $13,600. At a = 0.09, is there enough evidence to support the analyst's claim?
