A Deloitte employment survey asked a sample of human resource executives how their company planned to change its workforce over the next months. A categorical response variable showed three options: The company plans to hire and add to the number of employees, the company plans no change in the number of employees, or the company plans to lay off and reduce the number of employees. Another categorical variable indicated if the company was private or public. Sample data for companies are summarized as follows. Company Employment Plan Private Public Add Employees 39 32 No Change 21 36 Lay Off Employees 12 44 a. Conduct a test of independence to determine if the employment plan for the next months is independent of the type of company. At a level of significance. Compute the value of the test statistic (to 2 decimals).

Also the table is better constructed for clearer understanding when answering the question.

A Deloitte employment survey asked a sample of human resource executives how their company planned to change its workforce over the next 12 months. A categorical response variable showed three options: The company plans to hire and add to the number of employees, the company plans no change in the number of employees, or the company plans to lay off and reduce the number of employees. Another categorical variable indicated if the company was private or public. Sample data for 180 companies are summarized as follows.

Lay Off Employees 12 44

a. Conduct a test of independence to determine if the employment plan for the next 12 months is independent of the type of company. At a level of 0.05 significance. Compute the value of the test statistic (to 2 decimals).

Explanation:

From the table in the question; we can see the changes in employees adding, shedding, or not changing their staffing.

Company

Plan Private Public

Add 39 32

Number Change 21 36

Lay Off 12 44

The hypothesis are:

$\mathbf{ H_o : Column \ independent \ of \ row}\\ \\ \mathbf{ H_a : Column \ is \ dependent \ of \ row}$

Using the following relation of variables given to determine expected frequencies ; we have :

$\mathbf{e_f = \dfrac{(row _i)(column_j)}{Total \ sample}}$

From the above table ; the first row show the total entries of 72

The first column shows the total of 72

$\mathbf{e_f = \dfrac{(39+32)(72)}{180}} \\ \\ \mathbf{e_f = 28.80}}$

The expected value for the first row, first column is 28.80

Repeating the same process for others;

For the first row ; second column we have :

$\mathbf{e_f = \dfrac{(39+32)(112)}{180}} \\ \\ \mathbf{e_f = 44.80}}$

For the second row ; first column we have :

$\mathbf{e_f = \dfrac{(21+36)(72)}{180}} \\ \\ \mathbf{e_f = 22.80}}$

For the second row ; second column we have :

$\mathbf{e_f = \dfrac{(21+36)(112)}{180}} \\ \\ \mathbf{e_f = 35.47}}$

For the third row ; first column we have :

$\mathbf{e_f = \dfrac{(12+44)(72)}{180}} \\ \\ \mathbf{e_f = 22.40}}$

For the third row ; second column we have :

$\mathbf{e_f = \dfrac{(12+44)(112)}{180}} \\ \\ \mathbf{e_f = 34.84}}$

Company

Plan Private Public Total

Add 28.80 44.80 73.60

Number Change 22.80 35.47 58.27

Lay Off 22.40 34.84 57.24

Converting the table to chi- squared using the relation.

$\mathbf{x^2 = \sum_i ( \dfrac{f_y-e_f}{e_f})^2}$

where;

f_y = observed frequency from the original table

From the original above table ;

for the first row (1)

the observed frequency is = 39

the expected frequency is = 28.80

$\mathbf{x^2 = \sum_i ( \dfrac{39-28.80}{28.80})^2} \\ \\ \mathbf{x^2 =3.6125}$

for the first row (2)

the observed frequency is = 32

the expected frequency is = 44.80

$\mathbf{x^2 = \sum_i ( \dfrac{32-44.80}{44.80})^2} \\ \\ \mathbf{x^2 =3.6571}$

for the second row (1)

the observed frequency is = 21

the expected frequency is = 22.80

$\mathbf{x^2 = \sum_i ( \dfrac{21-22.80}{22.80})^2} \\ \\ \mathbf{x^2 =0.1421}$

for the second row (2)

the observed frequency is = 36

the expected frequency is = 35.47

$\mathbf{x^2 = \sum_i ( \dfrac{36-35.47}{35.47})^2} \\ \\ \mathbf{x^2 =0.0079}$

for the third row (1)

the observed frequency is = 12

the expected frequency is = 22.40

$\mathbf{x^2 = \sum_i ( \dfrac{12-22.40}{22.40})^2} \\ \\ \mathbf{x^2 =4.8286}$

for the third row (2)

the observed frequency is = 44

the expected frequency is = 34.84

$\mathbf{x^2 = \sum_i ( \dfrac{44-34.84}{34.84})^2} \\ \\ \mathbf{x^2 =2.4083}$

Company

Plan Private Public Total

Add 3.6125 3.6571 7.2696

Number Change 0.1421 0.0079 0.15

Lay Off 4.8286 2.4083 7.2369

Total x^2 = 14.657

Hence, the total chi-square = 14.657;

To find the value for p; we need to determine the degree of freedom

df = (2-1)(3-1)

that result to a degree of freedom of 2

From the chi square chart at the chi-square is 14.657 and degree of freedom is 2 ; the p value is between 0.1 and 0.005. Since this makes p-value less than 0.05.

We rejected $\mathbf{ H_o}$

Thus; the variables are dependent. We can conclude that the employment plan and the company are significantly related.

There are three factors that can affect the shape of the treasury yield curve (r* t , ip t , and mrp t ) and five factors that can affect the shape of the corporate yield curve (r* t , ip t , mrp t , drp t , and lp t ). the yield curve reflects the aggregation of the impacts from these factors. suppose the real risk-free rate and inflation rate are expected to remain at their current levels throughout the foreseeable future. consider all factors that affect the yield curve. then identify which of the following shapes that the us treasury yield curve can take. check all that apply. a. downward-sloping yield curveb. upward-sloping yield curvec. inverted yield curve
