Answer:
a. possible sample size is 10
b. mean is 3
c standard deviation is 0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean of any given set of numbers is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.
Standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values.

Answer:
A) : p=0.5 (At least half of the workers are women,fair)
B) : p<0.5 (Less than half of the workers are women,unfair)
C) critical value of the test statistic is 1.64 (one tailed)
D) Test statistic is ≈ 0.29
E) Since 0.29<1.64, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is no significant evidence that the company has unfair hiring practices at 0.05 significance level.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p be the proportion of women workers in the company. Null and alternative hypotheses are
: p=0.5 (At least half of the workers are women,fair)
: p<0.5 (Less than half of the workers are women,unfair)
Test statistic can be found using the equation:
z= where
Then z= ≈ 0.29
For alpha 0.05, critical value of the test statistic is 1.64 (one tailed)
Since 0.29<1.64, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is no significant evidence that the company has unfair hiring practices at 0.05 significance level.
