Calculating t Value

Using the raw measurement data presented below, calculate the t value for independent groups to determine whether or not there exists a statistically significant difference between the salaries of female and male human resource managers.

Draw the appropriate conclusions with respect to female and male human resource manager salary levels.

$54,000 $55,000
$58,000 $63,000
$52,000 $53,000
$68,000 $70,000
