Question

Professor Jennings claims that only 35% of the students at Flora College work while attending school. Dean Renata thinks that the professor has underestimated the number of students with part-time or full-time jobs. A random sample of 80 students shows that 37 have jobs. Do the data indicate that more than 35% of the students have jobs? Use a 5% level of significance.

What are we testing in this problem?

single proportionsingle mean    
(a) What is the level of significance?


State the null and alternate hypotheses.
H0p = 0.35; H1p < 0.35H0: μ = 0.35; H1: μ ≠ 0.35    H0: μ = 0.35; H1: μ < 0.35H0p = 0.35; H1p > 0.35H0p = 0.35; H1p ≠ 0.35H0: μ = 0.35; H1: μ > 0.35

(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?
The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5.The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5.    The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5.The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5.

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value.
P-value > 0.2500.125 < P-value < 0.250    0.050 < P-value < 0.1250.025 < P-value < 0.0500.005 < P-value < 0.025P-value < 0.005
