We're interested in the amount of time spent at work by college graduates employed full-time. The standard amount of time spent at work by full-time employees is 40 hours per week. We suspect that the mean number μ of hours worked per week by college graduates is more than 40 hours and wish to do a statistical test. We select a random sample of 100 college graduates employed full-time and compute the mean number of hours worked per week by...

The employee benefits manager of a large public university would like to estimate the proportion of full-time employees who prefer adopting the first (plan A) of three available health care plans in the next annual enrollment period. A random sample of the university’s employees and their tentative health care preferences are given in the file Final.xlsx sheet named Health Care. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all the university’s employees who favor plan A. Round your I...
