The salaries of a random sample of 50 male and 50 female employees were recorded. The appropriate hypothesis test yielded a p-value of 0.12. Based on the p-value with a significance level of 10%, can the executives conclude that the average salaries of their male and females employees are different?\r<BR>\n" );
