Now, in a survey of 200 employees, 76 said they liked their job very much, 105 said that they liked their job moderately, and the remaining employees said that they were dissatisfied with their job. When testing (at the 5% level of significance) whether the proportions have changed, what is the null and alternative hypotheses?
*please write out the null and alternative hypotheses below AND on scratch work*

- In a survey of working parents (both parents working), one of the questions asked was "Have you refused a job, promotion, or transfer because it would mean less time with your family?" 480 men and 480 women were asked this question. 21% of the men and 27% of the women responded "Yes". Based on this survey, can it be concluded that there is a difference in the proportion of men ( p1 ) and women ( p2 ) responding "Yes"? Use a significance level of α=0.1 for the test. Step 2 of 5 : Compute the weighted estimate of p, p‾.

She divided her 60 students into three groups (low, middle, and high) based on their mean exam score on the previous three tests. She then asked them to rate how likely they were to cheat on an exam if the opportunity presented itself with a very limited chance for consequences. The students rated their desire to cheat on a scale ranging from 1-100, with lower numbers indicating less desire to cheat.

He recruits two groups of men who are similar in respect to history of alcohol use and demographic variables. He divides them in to two groups. In one group(n=11), the men are exposed to a stressful situation and then asked to complete a measure rating their alcohol cravings on a scale from 0-10, where 0 representsno cravings and 10 represents intense cravings. In the second group (n=10), the men are exposed to a neutral situation and asked to complete the same measure.

You are considering introducing a loyalty program to encourage customers to spend more at your store. Before rolling out your program to the public, you want to do a small experiment to estimate its effectiveness. You offer the loyalty program to 10 random customers, and also observed the sales of 27 random customers who did not get the program as a control group. The customers that were part of the loyalty program had average monthly sales of $302.57 and a sample standard deviation of $49.73. For the control group, the customers had an average monthly sales of $231.65 and a sample standard deviation of $67.88. * Given a 95% confidence interval critical value of t = 2.04, what is the upper bound (upper end) of a 95% confidence interval for the difference between two averages? Use (μloyalty program no loyalty program) for the order. Note: 1- Only round your final answer. Round your final answer to two decimal places.arrow_forward
