Question

State study on labor reported that one-third of full-time teachers in the state also worked part-time at another job. For those teachers, the average number of hours worked per week at the part-time job was 13. After an increase in state teacher salaries, a random sample of 400 teachers who worked part-time at another job was selected. The average number of hours worked per week at the part-time job for the teachers in the sample was 12.5 with a standard deviation of 6.5 hours. Is there convincing statistical evidence, at the level of α=0.05, that the average number of hours worked per week at part-time jobs decreased after the salary increase?
(A) No. The p-value of the appropriate test is greater than 0.05.
(B) No. The p-value of the appropriate test is less than 0.05.
(C) Yes. The p-value of the appropriate test is greater than 0.05.
(D) Yes. The p-value of the appropriate test is less than 0.05.
(E) Not enough information is given to determine whether there is convincing statistical evidence
