The vice-president of administration wonders whether employees are taking adequate amounts of vacation time. Employee burnout is a concern. Research suggests that an employee taking less than 1.4 weeks of vacation annually is very likely to experience burnout.
Analyze the employee vacation data and conduct a hypothesis test with the following results:
t = 2.93p = 0.0084
What factors should the vice-president consider in determining the presence of employee burnout?
Do employees take more than 1.4 weeks of vacation?
What reasons should the vice-president provide to the president to justify the recommendation on employee burnout?
Based on the data, is the presence of employee burnout an issue that may negatively impact the company?
University officials hope that changes they have made have improved the retention rate. Last year, a sample of 2049 freshmen showed that 1537 returned as sophomores. This year, 1516 of 1942 freshmen sampled returned as sophomores. Determine if there is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to say that the retention rate has improved. Let last year's freshmen be Population 1 and let this year's freshmen be Population 2.
Step 2 of 3 :
Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
If the proportion of the population in City A that is over 65 years old is p1 and the proportion of the population in City B that is over 65 years old is p2, what is the null hypothesis for a test to determine if the proportion of the population that is over 65 years old is greater in City A?
Select the correct answer below:
H0: p1−p2=0
H0: p1−p2>0
H0: p1−p2<0
H0: p1−p2≠0

Sample 1: 11.6, 11.35, 10.1, 10.85, 10.35, 10.6, and 11.1.Sample 2: 5.85, 8.85, 9.85, 11.85 and 7.85.Test to determine whether the means of the two population differs (use α=0.05).arrow_forwardA soft drink dispenser is set to automatically dispense drinks and ice in 8 oz cups. The machine is set to fill cups with 7.25 oz so that the liquid will not run over the top of the cup. The company is getting complaints that the machine is filling the cups too full and spilling over. When the machine is working properly, only 1% of the cups will not be filled properly. The production manager conducted a one-tail test at the 0.01 level to check the machine. A sample of 50 fills was measured. Using the P-value approach, formulate a hypothesis test to examine the possibility that the machine could be faulty. State the null and alternative hypothesis.arrow_forward
- Step 9 (b) Use Fisher's LSD procedure to test whether there is a significant difference between the means for treatments A and B, treatments A and C, and treatments B and C. Use α = 0.05. A hypothesis test for the population of treatment means can lead to the conclusion that not all the population means are equal, but it does not indicate which population means may differ. Fisher's least significant difference, LSD, procedure can be used to pinpoint where these differences occur. The test statistic will be calculated as the absolute value of the difference between two sample means, x₁ - x;. This test statistic will be compared to the value of LSD, the formula of which is given below. The variable t/2 is based on a t distribution with n, - k degrees of freedom with a significance level of a, MSE is the mean square error, n, is the number of observations for population i, and n, is the number of observations for population j. / MSE (171, + 121,) LSD = ta/2V A significance level of a =…arrow_forwardThe recidivism rate for convicted sex offenders is 9%.
