A corporation randomly selects 150 salespeople and finds that
66% who have never taken a self- improvement course would like to
do so. The firm did a similar study 10 years ago and found that 70%
of a random sample of 160salespeople wanted a self-improvement
course. The groups are assumed to be independent random samples.
Let π1and π2 represent the true proportion of
workers who would like to attend a self-improvement course in the
recent study and the past study, respectively.
- The company tests to determine at the 0.01 level whether the
population proportion has changed from the previous study. Which of
the following is most correct?
a |
|
- Do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that that there
is not sufficient evidence that the proportion of employees who are
interested in a self-improvement course has increased over the past
10 years.
|
b |
|
- Do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is
not sufficient evidence that the pro- portion of employees who are
interested in a self-improvement course has changed over the past10
years.
|
c |
|
- Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is
sufficient evidence that the proportion of employees who are
interested in a self-improvement course has increased over the past
10 years.
|
d |
|
- Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is
sufficient evidence that the proportion of employees who are
interested in a self-improvement course has changed over the past
10 years.
