The obtained distribution was as follows: FEMALE MALE ABOVE MEDIAN 28 72 BELOW MEDIAN 52 48 Do these data indicate that the salary distribution for females is significantly different from the distribution for males? Test at the .05 level of significance. Also indicate what df were used for the test. a) Yes, you reject the null hypothesis of "no salary discrimination"; df = 1 b) No, you fail to reject the null hypothesis of "no salary discrimination"; df = 1 c) Yes, you reject the null hypothesis of "no salary discrimination"; df = 3 d) No, you fail to reject the null hypothesis of "no salary discrimination"; df = 3
