- The Los Angeles City Controller's office calculated that in 2013, the city employed 47030 full-time employees and 10142 part-time employees. Assume that an outside advocacy group had been lobbying the Mayor's office to convert part-time workers into full-time workers throughout 2014. The Controller's office makes its calculations annually. Suppose that the outside advocacy group wanted to know the proportion of city employees (excluding per-event employees) who are full-time employees p in June 2014 to gauge if their lobbying efforts had been effective. Suppose that the group surveyed a random sample of 1000 city employees (excluding per-event employees) in June 2014 and found that 845 were full-time employees and 155 were part-time employees. If the advocacy group planned to use a one-sample z-test for a proportion to test their lobbying eforts, the appropriate null hypothesis would be and the appropriate alternative hypothesis would bearrow_forwardEngr.
