#1) The annual salaries for a random sample of 16 actuaries working in New York have a standard deviation of $16,000. The annual salaries of a random sample of 17 actuaries working in California have a standard deviation of $9600. Using a significance level of a = .05, is there significant evidence that the standard deviation of the annual salaries is greater in New York than it is in California?
