Adecco Workplace Insights Survey sampled men and women workers and asked if they expected to get a raise or promotion this year
(USA Today, February 16, 2012). Suppose the survey sampled 200 men and 200 women. If 104 of the men replied yes and 74 of the women replied yes, are the results statistically significant in that you can conclude a greater proportion of men are expecting to get a raise or a promotion this year?
Let p1 represent proportion of women and p2 proportion of men. The null and alternative hypothesis will be as follows
Null hypothesis
=p2-p1 ≤0
Alternative hypothesis
=p2-p1>0
Sample proportion of women, p1=74/200=0.37
Sample proportion of men is p2=104/200=0.52
Level of significance is 0.01
Pooled proportion=
Test statistic
p-value=P(Z≥z)=P(Z≥6.9124)=P(Z≤-6.9124)=0
Since the value of p is less than 0.01, we reject null hypothesis. There’s sufficient evidence that a greater proportion of men is expecting to get a raise
27 squares because both Friday and Saturday he knits 5 squares, if you add them together you will get 10 squares. Then you have to add the 10 squares to the original 17 squares he made.
