PROBLEM:
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ( HYPERLINK
"http://www.bls.gov" http://www.bls.gov ), the average hourly wage in
the manufacturing sector in 2000 was $19.86 in the United States.
Suppose a labor researcher wants to test to determine whether this
figure is still accurate today. Â The researcher randomly selects 54
workers from manufacturing sector from across the United States and
obtains a representative earning statements from each. Â The resulting
sample average is $20.96, with a standard deviation of $3.
Use these data and hypothesis-testing techniques along with a 5% level
of significance to determine whether the mean hourly wage of a
manufacturing worker has changed.
