5) A Human Resources manager is studying the earnings of workers. The manager takes a sample of 100 workers and records there earnings along with descriptive variables: Industry (1 = Manufacturing, 2 = Construction, 0 = other), Occupation (1 = Management, 2 = Sales, 3 = Clerical, 4 = Service, 5 = Profession, 0 = other), Education (in years), Female (1 = Yes, 0 = No), Experience (work experience in years), Married (1 = Yes, 0 = No), Age (in years), Union (1 = Yes, 0 = No). The data appears in the Earnings worksheet in Chp 12 HW Problems data workbook on Moodle. a) State the hypothesis to determine if the proportion of female workers depends on occupation. b) Use Excel to construct a two-way pivot table showing the number of workers for each combination of Occupation and Female (1 = Yes and 2 = No). c) Test the hypothesis using a = 0.05. d) What is the p-value for the hypothesis test. e) Use the multiple comparison procedure with a = 0.05 to determine which occupations have a different proportion of female workers than occupation 0. Specifically, make 5 comparisons: 0 to 1, 0 to 2, 0 to 3, 0 to 4, and 0 to 5.
