Chapter 7, Problem 7.17P

P A The city manager has received a complaint from the local union of firefighters to the effect that they are underpaid. Not having much time, the city manager gathers the records of a random sample of 27 firefighters and finds that their average salary is $ 38 , 073 , with a standard deviation of $ 575 . If she knows that the average salary nationally is $ 38 , 202 , how can she respond to the complaint? Should she use a one-tailed test in this situation? Why? What would she say in a memo to the union that would respond to the complaint?
