At a local college, 65 female students were randomly selected and it was found that their mean monthly income was $609. Seventy-five male students were also randomly selected and their mean monthly income was found to be $651. Test the claim that male students have a higher monthly income than female students. Assume the population standard deviation for the females is $121.50 and for the males $131. Use α = 0.01
