18. Mayors' Salaries: The average salary of mayors of Canada's cities is reported to be equal to $120,000. To test this claim, 5 Canadian cities are selected and it is found that the average salary is $132,389. Assume the population standard deviation is $12,121. Using α = 0.05, test the claim that the reported salary is incorrect.
