Complete Question
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, citizens remain unemployed for an average of 15.9 weeks before finding their next job (June, 2008). Suppose you want to show that Louisiana has been effective in getting their unemployed back to work sooner. You take a random sample of 50 citizens who were unemployed six months earlier and ask them to report the duration. You find that the average time spent unemployed was 13.4 weeks with a sample standard deviation of the time unemployed is 6.7 weeks.
1 Which of the following statements is the correct alternative hypothesis?
2 The test statistic for testing the hypothesis is
a. -2.64
b. -2.32
c. -2.11
d. -1.28
e. none of these are correct
Answer:
1
The alternative hypothesis
2
The test statistics
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean value for time citizens remain unemployed is
The sample size is n = 50
The sample standard deviation is 6.7 weeks.
The sample mean value for time citizens remain unemployed is
The null hypothesis is
The alternative hypothesis
Generally test statistics is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
We check with each options
'Or' represents the intersection of two graphs
'And' represents two separate graphs'
We have two separate shaded part in the given graph
So we ignore the options that has 'and' in between
LEts check first and second option
Simplify the first part and second part
multiply both sides by 2 .
x < 2 or 4x - 2 > = 26
solve 4x-2 > = 26
add 2 on both sides and then divide both sides by 4
4x >= 28
x >= 7
So solution is x<2 or x>=7 . that is the graph on number line
Lets check with second option
3x-3<3 or 2x+8>=22
add 3 on both sides
3x < 6
divide both sides by 3
so x< 2
2x+8>=22
subtract 8 on both sides
2x >= 30
divide both sides by 2
x >= 15
x<2 or x>=15 that does not satisfies the graph
So option A is correct
