Question
Researchers are interested in whether employment status varies significantly among college students. Participants are asked to choose the category that best represents their employment status: (a) employed full-time, (b) employed part-time, (c) unemployed, (d) searching for employment. They plan to compare the proportions of employment status.
6. What is the null hypothesis of this one-sample chi-square test? _______________________________________________
7. What is the alternative hypothesis of this one-sample chi-square test? _______________________________________________
8. Researchers obtain a p-value of 0.001. Decide whether or not to reject the null hypothesis and interpret this finding.
Explanation / Answer
6) Null hypothesis (H0) : The proportions of different employment status are similar.
7) Alternative hypothesis(H1) : The proportions of different employment status are not similar.
8) if p value < 0.001, it is < 0.05(common rejection level) then Reject Null hypothesis
we conclude that there is sufficient evidence of the proporiton of different employmet status are not similar.
