The Congressional Budget Office reports that 36% of federal civilian employees have a bachelor's degree or higher (The Wall Street Journal). A random sample of 115 employees in the private sector showed that 32 have a bachelor's degree or higher. Does this indicate that the percentage of employees holding bachelor's degrees or higher in the private sector is less than in the federal civilian sector? Use α = 0.05.

Question

The Congressional Budget Office reports that 36% of federal civilian employees have a bachelor's degree or higher (The Wall Street Journal). A random sample of 115 employees in the private sector showed that 32 have a bachelor's degree or higher. Does this indicate that the percentage of employees holding bachelor's degrees or higher in the private sector is less than in the federal civilian sector? Use α = 0.05.

State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H0: μ = 0.36; H1: μ < 0.36H0p = 0.36; H1p > 0.36    H0p = 0.36; H1p < 0.36H0p = 0.36; H1p ≠ 0.36H0: μ = 0.36; H1: μ > 0.36H0: μ = 0.36; H1: μ ≠ 0.36


(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?

The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5.The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5.    The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5.The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5.


What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value.

P-value > 0.2500.125 < P-value < 0.250    0.050 < P-value < 0.1250.025 < P-value < 0.0500.005 < P-value < 0.025P-value < 0.005


Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.
