Adecco Workplace Insights Survey sampled men and women workers and asked if they expected to get a raise or promotion this year (USA Today, February 16, 2012). Suppose the survey sampled 200 men and 200 women. If 104 of the men replied yes and 74 of the women replied yes, are the results statistically significant in that you can conclude a greater proportion of men are expecting to get a raise or a promotion this year?

a. State the hypothesis test in terms of the population proportion of men and the population proportion of women?

(a) Null Hypothesis, : 0  or    

    Alternate Hypothesis, : > 0  or   >

(b)   = sample proportion of men = = 0.52

      = sample proportion of women = = 0.37

(c) P-value is 0.0011.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Adecco Workplace Insights Survey sampled men and women workers and asked if they expected to get a raise or promotion this year (USA Today, February 16, 2012).

Suppose the survey sampled 200 men and 200 women. If 104 of the men replied yes and 74 of the women replied yes.

Let = population proportion of men who replied yes

      = population proportion of women who replied yes

(a) Null Hypothesis, : 0  or     {means that the population proportion of men is less than or equal to the population proportion of women}

Alternate Hypothesis, : > 0  or   >   {means that the population proportion of men is more than the population proportion of women}

(b)   = sample proportion of men = = 0.52

      = sample proportion of women = = 0.37

The test statistics that will be used here is Two-sample z proportion statistics;

               T.S.  =    ~ N(0,1)

where, = sample proportion of men who replied yes = 0.52

            = sample proportion of women who replied yes = 0.37

             = sample of men = 200

            = sample of women = 200

So, test statistics  =  

                               =  3.05

Now at 0.01 significance level, the z table gives critical value of 2.3263 for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the population proportion of men is greater than the population proportion of women.

P-value is given by the following formula;

     P(Z > 3.05) = 1 - P(Z 3.05)

                        = 1 - 0.99886 = 0.0011

Hence, the p-value is 0.0011.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
