Question

Your mayor just announced that the local unemployment rate dropped from 10.5% to 10.4% from the prior month. Evaluate the unemployment rate drop and discuss whether there is enough information to determine significance. Support your response with specific examples. In replies to peers, discuss whether you agree or disagree with their assessments and justify your response

Answer 1

Answer:

Not enough information

Explanation:

from this question, this mayor has only given us the estimated proportion of the rate of unemployment  for these months. In order to know if it is significant or not, we have to carry out other tests such as the hypothesis testing for the population proportion. But here we do not have any sample data or population data with which we can use to test this significance. The sample size is unknown so we cannot proceed to test if the claim is significant or not.
