A study found that, in 2005, 12.5% of U.S. workers belonged to unions (The Wall Street Journal, January 21, 2006). Suppose a sample of 400 U.S. workers is collected in 2006 to determine whether union efforts to organize have increased union membership.
- Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether union membership increased in 2006.
If the sample results show that 52 of the workers belonged to unions, what is the sample proportion of workers belonging to unions (to 2 decimals)?
Complete the following, assuming an level of .05.

A sample of 36 account balances of a credit company showed an average balance of $1,179 and a standard deviation of $136. You want to determine if the mean of all account balances is significantly greater than $1,150. Use a 0.05 level of significance. Assume the population of account balances is normally distributed. Compute the test statistic. A sample of 30 account balances of a credit company showed an average balance of $1,165 and a standard deviation of $125. You...

A recent study examined hearing loss data for 1822 U.S. teenagers. In this sample, 343 were found to have some level of hearing loss. News of this study spread quickly, with many news articles blaming the prevalence of hearing loss on the higher use of ear buds by teens. At MSNBC.com (8/17/2010), Carla Johnson summarized the study with the headline: "1 in 5 U.S. teens has hearing loss, study says." To investigate whether this is an appropriate or a misleading...

Local 28, Sheet Metal Workers v. EEOC 478 U.S. 421 (1986) The union and its apprenticeship committee were found guilty of discrimination against Hispanics and African-Americans and were ordered to remedy the violations. They were found numerous times to be in contempt of the court’s order, and after 18 years the court eventually imposed fines and an affirmative action plan as a remedy. The plan included benefits to persons not members of the union. The Supreme Court held the remedies...
