According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, all workers in America who had a bachelor's degree and were employed earned an average of $1235 a week in 2014. A recent sample of 372 American workers who have a bachelor's degree showed that they earn an average of $1248 per week. Suppose that the population standard deviation of such earnings is $159. a. Find the p-value for the test of hypothesis with the alternative hypothesis that the current mean weekly earning of American workers who have a bachelor's degree is higher than $1235, will you reject the null hypothesis at = 0.05? Round your answer to four decimal places p-value Reject b. Test the hypothesis of part a using the critical-value approach and = 0.05 Round your answer for the observed value of z to three decimal places. udy Reject Ho Version 4.24.2.4 Privacy Policy I © 2000-2017 John Wiley&Sons;,Inc.

Explanation / Answer

The statistical software output for this problem is:

One sample Z summary hypothesis test:
: Mean of population
H0 : = 1235
HA : > 1235
Standard deviation = 159

Hypothesis test results:

Hence,

a) p - Value = 0.0574

Do not reject Ho

b) z = 1.577

Do not reject Ho
