Data Were Collected from CEOs in the Consumer Products Industry $X =$

Data were collected from CEOs in the consumer products industry and the CEOs in the telecommunication industry. The data were analyzed using a software package in order to compare mean salaries of CEOs in the two industries.

HYPOTHESIS: MEAN X = MEAN Y
SAMPLES SELECTED FROM SALARY
$X =$ Consumer Products
$\mathrm { Y } =$ Telecommunications

SAMPLE MEAN OF $X = 1761$

Using $\alpha = .05$ , give the rejection region for a two-tailed test.

A) Reject $H _ { 0 }$ if $t > 1.684$ .
B) Reject $H _ { 0 }$ if $t > 1.684$ or $t < - 1.684$ .
C) Reject $H _ { 0 }$ if $t > 2.021$ .
D) Reject $H _ { 0 }$ if $t > 2.021$ or $t < - 2.021$ .
