An HR manager in a company wants to know if there’s a difference in the amount of timeworkers in different departments spend chatting at the water cooler. She tracks the behaviour for twodepartments (Legal Department and Technical Support) and records the number of minutes spent at thewater cooler for each employee. The data are presented below.Is there a significant difference in time spent at the water cooler between the two departments? Conducta hypothesis test using α = .05. Legal Tech Supportn = 4 n = 8M = 22.2 M = 13.8SS = 164 SS = 76
If a researcher obtains a sample mean of M= 54, from a population with u = 46. With a given alpha, which combination of factors is most likely to result in rejecting the null hypothesis?
The salaries of a random sample of 12 teachers from state A and 12 teachers from state B are shown in the table. At alpha= 0.05, is there enough evidence to
support the claim that there is a difference in the salaries earned by teachers in state A and state B? Calculate the test statistic.
