Working at Home Workers with a formal arrangement with their employer to be paid for time worked at home, worked an average of 19 hours per week. A random sample of 14 mortgage brokers indicated that they worked a mean of 23.1 hours per week with a standard deviation of 6.5 hours. At α=0.05, is there sufficient evidence to conclude a difference? Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean number of paid working hours at home. Compare the results of your confidence interval to the conclusion of your hypothesis test and discuss the implications. (a) State the hypothesis and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis. H0 H1 This hypothesis test is a one tailed/two-tailed test. (b)Find the critical value(s). Round the answer to 3 decimal places, if necessary. If there is more than one critical value, separate them with commas. Critical values:
