Question 918898: Based on the report, ‘New Century, Old Disputes’ (Atal, J.P., Nopo,
H., Winder, N., 2009), women hold 33% of the better paid jobs in the
Latin America and Caribbean region. A survey of 100 women reveals
proportion of 0.27.
a) At the 1% alpha level, has the rate changed?
b) What are some of the reasons that could support this low level low
rate in the region?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Ho: p = 0.33 (claim)
Ha: p ≠ .33
n = 100
z = (.27 - .33)/sqrt(.33*.67/100) = -.06/.047 = -1.276
p(z < -1.276) = .10
.10 > .01
At the 1% alpha level, accept claim.
Study does not support that rate has changed.
b) culture, less education, etc
