Last year, 35.7 % of all employees at a large company enrolled in at least one wellness class at the company's site. A survey is sent out to a sample employees at the start of the new fiscal year to see if a greater percentage is planning to take a wellness class this year. Survey responses are received from 162 employees and 76 indicate that they plan to enroll in a wellness class. Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.10.

  • H0:H0: Select an answer p p̂  ? < = > ≠     Ha:Ha: Select an answer p p̂  ? < ≠ >  
  • αα =    decision rule: Reject H0H0 if probability ? < > ≠  αα  
  • Test Statistic: z =   (Note: round the z-score to two decimal places - carry at least four decimal places throughout all of your calculations)
  • probability =   (Note: round the probability to four decimal places)
  • decision: Select an answer Reject H₀ Fail to reject H₀
  • Conclusion: At the 0.10 level, there Select an answer is not is  significant evidence to conclude the percentage of employees that plan to enroll in at least one wellness class in the upcoming year is Select an answer less than greater than different than  than 35.7%.

Suppose that you invest in a two-year Treasury bond with a coupon rate of 6% and $1,000 par. Suppose that you buy this bond at a price of exactly $1,000. You intend to hold this bond to maturity and reinvest the coupons until the bond matures. You expect to reinvest the coupons in an account that pays an APR of 1.23%, with semi-annual compounding. What is the effective annual rate of return on your investment? Hint: see Example 8 in the Lecture.

Do not round at intermediate steps in your calculation. Express your answer in percent. Round to three decimal places. Do not type the % symbol. If the return is negative, then include a minus sign.
