Question

A tech recruiter is analyzing the starting salaries (in units of USD) of entry-level software engineers in six major U.S. cities to determine whether location influences pay. Salaries were collected from a random sample of five job offers in each of the following cities: San Francisco, Austin, New York, Denver, Chicago, and Atlanta. The mean square between groups (MSB) is $105 comma 023 comma 283.34$ , and the mean square within groups (MSW) is $2 comma 976 comma 333.33$ . At $alpha equals 0.05$ , can you conclude that the mean starting salary differs for at least one of the cities?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that at least one city has a different average starting salary.

Answer

No, the mean starting salaries are equal across all six cities.

Answer

The test fails due to small sample size in each group.

Answer

There is not enough information to perform the ANOVA test.
