For each of the word problems, use a solution sheet to do the hypothesis test. The solution sheet is found in Appendix E, Solution Sheets. Please feel free to make copies of the solution sheets. For the online version of the book, it is suggested that you copy the.doc or the.pdf files.
The mean number of sick days an employee takes per year is believed to be about 10. Members of a personnel department do not believe this figure. They randomly survey eight employees. The number of sick days they took for the past year are as follows: 12; 4; 15; 3; 11; 8; 6; 8. Let x = the number of sick days they took for the past year. Should the personnel team believe that the mean number is 10?
This exercise builds on another exercise in its source book, which isn't shown here.
