The city manager of Shinbone has received a complaint from the local union of firefighters to the effect that they are underpaid.

If she knows that the average salary nationally is $38,202, how can she respond to the complaint? Should she use a one-tailed test in this situation? Why? What would she say in a memo to the union that would respond to the complaint?
