For a random sample of 125 British entrepreneurs, the mean number of job changes was 1.91 and the sample standard deviation was 1.32. For an independent random sample of 86 British corporate managers, the mean number of job changes was 0.21 and the sample standard deviation was 0.53. Test the null hypothesis that the population means are equal against the alternative that the mean number of job changes is higher for British entrepreneurs than for British corporat managers.
