The financial aid office of a university asks a sample of students about their employment and earnings. The report says, "For academic year earnings, a significant difference (P = 0.028) was found between the sexes, with men earning more on the average."
True or false:
The report shows that the difference in earnings in the sample was large enough that it would occur in less than 3 percent of samples drawn from a population in which men's and women's average earnings are equal.
