A recent report by the American Medical Association stated the average annual salary of psychiatrists is $189,121 with a population standard deviation of $26,975.
-----------------------
A group of hospital administrators randomly sampled 64 psychiatrists and found an average annual salary of $198,630.
-----
t(198,630) = (198,630-189121)/[26975/sqrt(64)) = 2.8201
-----------------------
The group claims that the average annual salary is actually higher than what the American Medical Association reported.
---
Therefore right-tail test
-----------------------
What is the P-value for this one-sided test?
P-value = P(t > 2.8201 when df=63) = tcdf(2.8201,1000,63) = 0.0032
