Many students claim that they can taste the different colors of Skittles. Today we will conduct
an experiment to see if this class can really can “Taste the Rainbow”.
STATE: State hypotheses, parameter(s), significance level, and evidence for Ha.
Parameter: p -

A news report claims that 75% of restaurant employees feel that work stress has a negative impact on
their personal lives. Managers of a large restaurant chain wonder if this claim is valid for their
employees. A random sample of 100 employees finds that 68 answer “Yes” when asked, “Does work
stress have a negative impact on your personal life?” Do these data give convincing evidence at the α
= 0.10 level that the proportion of all employees in this chain who would say “Yes” differs from 0.75?
STATE:
p = the proportion of all employees at a large restaurant chain who would say they feel that work stress has a
negative impact on their lives. Use α = 0.10
H 0 : p = 0.75
H a : p ¹ 0.75
The evidence for Ha is: p̂ = 68/100 = 0.68 ≠ 0.75.
68 0.68 - 0.75
DO: pˆ = = 0.68 z= = -1.62
100 0.75(1 - 0.75) Standard
100 normal curve
P-value:
CONCLUDE: Because the P-value of 0.1060 > α = 0.10, we fail to reject H0. We do not have convincing
evidence that the proportion of all employees in this chain who would say they feel that work stress has a
negative impact on their lives is different from the news report claim of 75%.
