t =2.01

Margin of error =3.395578109

Therefore,interval 33.20442189 to

39.99557811

Q.3Conduct a hypothesis test to determinewhether the mean duration ofunemployment in Philadelphia is greaterthan the national mean duration of 14.6weeks. Use a 0.1 level of significance.What is your conclusion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/case-on-unemployment-study 9/11

t= 5.139999(calculated)

ho <= 14.6

ha > 14.6

for 99% confidencet val= 2.405 (critical value)

deg of freedom = 49

As calculated t > critical value of tHence null hypothesis is rejected so the unemployment rate in Philadelphia is 

greater than 14.6 weeks
