Summary

You want to find out if the earnings of women and men tend to be different in your country in the occupation you are considering: market analysts. Analyzing data from a random sample of market analysts in the USA, you find that women earn less, by 11 percent on average. How much gender difference can you expect among all market analysts in the USA? In particular, is there a difference in the population, or is it just a chance event true in your data? And can you generalize these results to the future or to other countries?
