Question

According to the Glassdoor.com, each job opening on average attracted 250 résumés in 2016. You know that the job market improved in 2017 compared to 2016, which means that more people will likely be switching jobs but also fewer unemployed workers remain in the labor market. To find out which trend is stronger, you take a random sample of 20 employers in your area and ask them to report how many résumés they received in 2017 for each job opening. Here are their answers: 212, 216, 228, 256, 208, 176, 260, 228, 280, 220, 204, 240, 220, 212, 244, 244, 196, 204, 244, 224

Using a = 0.05, answer the following:
