To compare mean income in a population of women and the population of men, a random samle of 50 men and 50 women is obtained.
Is it true that the incomes of men and women be normally distributed to execute the test for comparison of the means?
The test that can be used is the comparison of means test when standard deviations are unknown.
Normality is not required since the samples are large ( n 1 > 30 and n 2 > 30)As long as the departures from normality are not extreme, the test will give good results.
Result:
True.
