One sample was selected from patients who received biofeedback weight training for 8 weeks, and the other sample was selected from patients who did not receive this training. At the end of 8 weeks, the time it took (in seconds) to stand from a sitting position and then to sit down again (called sit-stand-sit time) was measured for the people in each sample. Data consistent with summary quantities given in the paper are given below. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that the samples are representative of the population of stroke patients who receive the biofeedback training and the population of stroke patients who do not receive this training.

The job market improved in 2017 compared to 2016, which means that more people will likely be switching jobs but also fewer unemployed workers remain in the job market. To find out which trend is stronger, a random sample of 20 employers in a region was taken. Each employer reported how many résumés they received in 2017 for each job opening. Their answers are shown in the accompanying table. Using a = 0.05, complete parts a through d. Click the icon to view the data on résumés received. a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
