Let average salary be μ
H 0 : μ = 35000
and
H 1 : μ 35000
The null hypothesis is rejected.
Therefore, it can be concluded that The average salary is not $35000. Therefore, it is statistically significant.
Again the actual average salary is between $25000 and $27000. Since the actual average salary is much less than what was considered and the difference has an effect in real life so it is practically significant.
Thus the analysis is both statistically and practically significant.
Therefore, first option is correct.
