Question
According to Inc.com, 79% of job seekers used social media in their job search in 2018. Many believe this number is inflated by the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search. Suppose a survey of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers showed that 308 of the 370 respondents use social media in their job search. In addition, 283 of the 370 respondents indicated they have electronically submitted a resume to an employer.
(a)
Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the results of the survey justify concluding the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search exceeds the proportion of the population that use social media in their job search. Use α = 0.05.
State the null and alternative hypothesis. (Enter != for ≠ as needed.)
H0:
Ha:
Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value =
State your conclusion.
Do not reject H0. We cannot conclude that the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job searches exceeds the proportion of the population that use social media in their job searches.Do not reject H0.

Of those people who engage in the act of shoplifting, 94% are apprehended by security guards using closed-circuit television (CCTV) and an electronic article surveillance system. The latter, also called a tag-and-alarm system, involves the use of a tag or label that is attached to an item. The tag is deactivated or detached at the time of purchase of the item; failure to do so will trigger an alarm when the item is carried through the gates. Of the other 98% of the shoppers, 1% are mistakenly identified as shoplifters by security guards watching them on CCTV or have triggered the alarm because the salesperson failed to deactivate or detach the tag. If a shopper is detained by security, what is the probability that the person was in fact a shoplifter? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)arrow_forward
