A shareholders' group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 9 years. A survey of 120 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 7.3 years for CEOs with a standard deviation of s=s= 5.8 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007). You don't know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed. You want to formulate and test a hypothesis that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by the group, at a significance level of α=0.001α=0.001. Your hypotheses are: Ho:μ≥9Ho:μ≥9 Ha:μ<9Ha:μ<9 What is the test statistic for this sample? test statistic = (Report answer accurate to 3 decimal places.) What is the p-value for this sample? p-value = (Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)
