Bureau of labor statistics wants to use statistics to determine whether there is difference between two countries on some measure of labor or between time periods for one country. The bureau reports that hourly compensation rates in US dollars for manufacturing production workers in country ‘A’ in 2015 and 2019 were $25.96 and $28.29 respectively. Hourly compensation rates for country ‘B’ over same period of time were $19.26 in 1995 and $23.89 in 2004.
