Chapter 10.3, Problem 10.30ACI
Job satisfaction of women in construction. The hiring of women in construction and construction-related jobs has steadily increased over the years. A study was conducted to provide employers with information designed to reduce the potential for turnover of female employees (Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education & Practice, April 2013). A survey questionnaire was emailed to members of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC). A total of 477 women responded to survey questions on job challenge and satisfaction with life as an employee. The results (number of females responding in the different categories) are summarized in the accompanying table. What conclusions can you draw from the data regarding the association between an NAWIC member’s satisfaction with life as an employee and her satisfaction with job challenge?
| Life as an Employee | |||
| Satisfied | Dissatisfied | ||
| Job Challenge | Satisfied | 564 | 33 |
| Dissatisfied | 24 | 26 | |

Based on past records, it is generally believed that on an average, a typical University of Technology and Applied Sciences, Nizwa student spends about 25 hours in the LRC per week. Recently, the library has been shifted to a new location which is further away from the academic block. As a result, the administration feels that students may be spending less time in the library. Accordingly a random sample of 41 students were selected and the average number of hours they spend in the library came out to be 16.78 with a standard deviation of 5.17. Carry out an appropriate test of hypotheses for the above problem to test whether the shifting of the library has adversely impacted the study time in the population of all students. (You may assume that study times/week approximately follow a normal distribution in the population).arrow_forward
