Refer to the Current Allergy & Clinical Immunology (March 2004) study of latex allergy in healthcare workers. There is a claim that the mean number of latex gloves used per day by all hospital employees is less than 20 gloves. A sample of 46 was selected with a mean number of latex gloves used per day by all hospital employees of 19.3 and standard deviation of 11.9. Assume alpha is 0.01.

#### (d) What is the decision?

- ○ Do not reject Ho
- ○ Reject Ho

### Explanation:

This question is designed to test your understanding of hypothesis testing. You are given the sample size, sample mean, sample standard deviation, and significance level (alpha), and you must decide whether to reject the null hypothesis (Ho), which claims that the mean number of gloves used is 20.
