A college president decides to examine how graduates from different majors fare in the job9 market. She collects the following starting salary data for a random sample of students in the Business School and the School of arts and Sciences.

Because the sample sizes are small and the data skewed, it may be best not to use a t ratio, which assumes normality in the sampling distribution. As an alternative, apply the Mann- Whitney U test to determine whether a significant difference exists in the starting salaries of Business versus Arts and Sciences graduates.
