According to a CCH Unscheduled Absence survey, 9% of small businesses use telecommuting of workers in an effort to reduce unscheduled absenteeism. This proportion compares to 6% for all businesses. Is there really a significant difference between small businesses and all businesses on this issue? Use these data and an alpha of .10 to test this question. Assume that there were 780 small businesses and 915 other businesses in this survey. Select one: a. p-value=0.04, thus we reject the Null hypothesis: the proportions are significantly different b. p-value=0.02, thus we reject the Null hypothesis: the proportions are significantly different c. p-value=0.04, thus we failed reject the Null hypothesis: the proportions are not significantly different d. p-value=0.02, thus we failed the Null hypothesis: the proportions are not significantly different

Select one:
a.
p-value=0.04, thus we reject the Null hypothesis: the proportions are significantly different
b.
p-value=0.02, thus we reject the Null hypothesis: the proportions are significantly different
c.
