State the null and alternative hypotheses Calculate the expected results for the hypothesis test assuming the null hypothesis is true and determine the hypothesis test model , i.e., “cut-off” critical values etc. Formulate the decision rule, i.e., include “one-tail ”left, or “one-tail” right, or “two-tail” determination etc. Determine the experimental outcome. Determine the conclusion, and answer the question(s) posed in the problem, if any.   It is claimed that a large corporation discriminates against its women employees in its promotion practices.  Over many years, the mean time before first promotion for its male employees has been 3 years.  A random sample of 20 females, who had worked there many years, showed a mean time of 3.8 years before first promotion, with s=1.2 years. Using a level of significance of 5%, see if the data support the claim.
