Recently, a large academic medical center determined that
9
of
18
employees in a particular position were
female,
whereas
45%
of the employees for this position in the general workforce were
female.
At the
0.05
level of significance, is there evidence that the proportion of
females
in this position at this medical center is different from what would be expected in the general workforce?

The owner of a local golf course wants to examine the difference between the average ages of males and females that play on the golf course. Specifically, he wants to test if the average age of males is different from the average age of females. If the owner conducts a hypothesis test for two independent samples and calculates a p-value of 0.2003, what is the appropriate conclusion? Label males as group 1 and females as group 2.
Question 14 options:
1)
We did not find enough evidence to say the average age of males is less than the average age of females.
2)
We did not find enough evidence to say the average age of males is larger than the average age of females.
3)
The average age of males is equal to the average age of females.
4)
We did not find enough evidence to say a significant difference exists between the average age of males and females.…
