Hi
POpulation:    μ =  $189,121    σ =  $26,975
n = 64   x̄ = $198,630
Ho:  p =  $189,121 
Ha:  p > $189,121
 a= 0.01 0r z = 2.326  ONe-tailed
N > 60  AND population σ known.
Appropriate for a z-test        

z = (198630 - 189121) / 26.975/sqrt(64) = 2.82
p-value = .0024
 2.82 > 2.326
0r
.0024< .05 Reject Ho.
Conclusion:  average annual salary  > $189,121

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
