Question
p = proportion of students who drop out due to lack of economic resources
A sociologist thinks that in his country the percentage of students who drop out due to lack of economic resources is different from 40%.
He takes a sample of 70 student dropouts and finds that 37 of them dropped out due to lack of financial resources.
Can the sociologist, with a significance level of 0.05, consider that the percentage of students who drop out due to lack of economic resources is different from 40%?

1. The correct conclusion
2. The correct interpretation

- The personality characteristics of business leaders (e.g., CEOs) are related to the operations of the businesses that they lead (Oreg & Berson, 2018). Traits like openness to experience are related to positive financial outcomes and other traits are related to negative financial outcomes for their businesses. Suppose that a board of directors is interested in evaluating the personality of their leadership. Among a sample of n = 16 managers, the sample mean of the openness to experiences dimension of personality was M = 4.50. Assuming that μ = 4.24 and σ = 1.05 (Cobb-Clark & Schurer, 2012), use a two-tailed hypothesis test with α = .05 to test the hypothesis that this company’s business leaders’ openness to experience is different from the population.arrow_forwardLabor Day was created by the U.S. labor movement over 100 years ago. It was subsequently adopted by most states as an official holiday. In a poll by Gallup, 1000 randomly selected adults were asked whether they approve of labor unions; 650 said yes. In 1936, about 72% of Americans approved of labor unions. At a 5% level of significance, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of Americans who approve of labor unions now has decreased since 1936? Solve using the critical-value approach. Define the parameter we are testing and setup a hypothesis test to see if less than 72% of Americans approve of labor unions currently. Calculate the test statistics for this hypothesis test. What is the critical value for this hypothesis test?arrow_forwardThe table below summarizes data from a survey of a sample of women.
