Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the mean salary for a new teacher in your town is $48,000
You believe it is higher for new teachers in a neighboring town.
So to prove or disprove your claim you have to show statistical evidence.
For that hypothesis testing is necessary.
You must conduct a hypothesis test for comparing the mean of salary of new teacher with neighbouring places
The hypotheses wouldbe
[tex]H_0: \mu = 48000\\H_1: \mu >48000[/tex]
where mu is the average for neighbouring states.
