Reference no: EM1388881

The U.S. Department of Education reports that 46% of full-time college students are employed while attending college. (Data extracted from "The Condition of Education 2009," National Center for Education Statistics, nces.ed. gov.) A recent survey of 60 full-time students at Miami University found that 29 were employed.

a) Use the five-step p-value approach to hypothesis testing and a 0.05 level of significance to determine whether the proportion of full-time students at Miami University is different from the national norm of 0.46.

b) Assume that the study found that 36 of the 60 full-time students were employed and repeat (a). Are the conclusions the same?
