Question

the one-proportion z-test to perform the specified hypothesis test. Use the critical-value approach. x = 728, n = 1300, H_0: p = 0.5, H_a: p > 0.5, a = 0.05 A) z = 4.327; critical value = 1.645; reject H_0 B) z = 3.245; critical value = 1.645; reject H_0 C) z = 3.245; critical value = 1.96; do not reject H_0 D) z = 4.327; critical value = 1.96; reject H_0 A researcher was interested in comparing the salaries of female and male employees at particular company. Independent simple random samples of 8 female employees and 15 male employees yielded the following weekly salaries (in dollars). Determine a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the mean weekly salary of female employees and the mean weekly salary of male employees at this particular company.
