A temp agency makes a claim that eighty percent of their workers are placed within three days of signing up for a job. To test this claim, we take a sample of 150 workers and find that 117 of them were placed within 3 days. Is there enough evidence to conclude that the percentage is not equal to 80% at the 5% level of significance? (Round to 4 decimal places)
a. Is the test statistic for this test Z or t?
b. What is the value of the test statistic of the test? ( Enter 0 if this value cannot be determined with the given information.)
c. What is the pvalue of the test? (Enter 0 if this value cannot be determined with the given information.)
d. What is the relevant bound of the rejection region? (Enter 0 if this value cannot be determined with the given information.)
e. What decision should be made?
(Select one:
i. Accept the null hypothesis
ii. Do not reject the null hypothesis
iii. Can not be determined from given information
iv. Reject the null hypothesis)

A study is done to test the claim that Company A retains its workers longer than Company B. Company A samples 16 workers, and their average time with the company is 5.2 years with a standard deviation of 1.1. Company B samples 21 workers, and their average time with the company is 4.6 years with a standard deviation of 0.9.

1.) Formulate the indicated conclusion in nontechnical terms. Be sure to address the original claim. A researcher claims that 62% of voters favor gun control. Assuming that a hypothesis test to reject this claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is failure to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion in nontechnical terms. Group of answer choices There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that 62% of voters favor gun control. There is not sufficient evidence to...

Use the following to answer questions 1-4. The average house hold size in a certain region several years ago was 3.14. A sociologist wishes to test, at 5% level of significance, whether it is different now. Perform the test using the information collected by the sociologist; in a random sample of 75 households, the average size was 2.98 persons, with sample standard deviation 0.82 persons. 1. Set up the null and alternative hypothesis to test the researcher’s claim. a. ?0:?=2.98...

A recent article reported that a job awaits only one in three (0.33) new college graduates. The major reasons given were an overabundance of college graduates and a weak economy. A survey of 200 recent graduates from your school revealed that 80 students had jobs. At the .01 significance level, can we conclude that a larger proportion of students at your school have jobs? A The Null Hypothesis is: a Job awaiting new college graduates is _______. b Job awaiting...
