MGMT2262 Assignment

Due April 8, 2008

Note: Express all final answers as decimals accurate to 4 decimals (0.1234) or as percentages accurate to 2 decimals (12.34%) unless otherwise stated.

Your assignment is to collect data and test a hypothesis. You decide what data to collect and how you’re going to collect it. You also decide what hypothesis to test. The only restriction is that you must collect at least 40 pieces of data. These are the instructions:

• State what data you collected and how you collected it.

• State your null and alternative hypotheses.
• Put the data in a table. It doesn’t matter what the dimensions of the table are; it is just to make the data easy to read. If it is a test about proportions, state the sample size and number of successes.

1) Test your hypothesis at a 5% level of significance. State the test statistic and conclusion. (2 marks)

2) For which levels of significance between 1% and 10% would the opposite conclusion be reached? Explain why. (2 marks)

3) Construct a 95% confidence interval based on your data. Interpret the interval. (1 mark)
