3. In a busy marketing consulting firm, 30% of the employees are aged
2029 years, 40% are aged 3039 years, 20% are aged 4049 years, and
10% are aged 50 years and over. The personnel manager of the firm is
interested in knowing whether age is a factor in the taking of sick days.
She takes a random sample of 100 sick days and finds the following
distribution of sick days by age group:
Age
No. of Sick Days
2029 years
26
3039 years
37
4049 years
24
50 years and over
13
Using these data, test at the = 0.05 level of significance the hypothesis
that age is not a factor in taking sick days.
:
If age is not a factor in taking sick days, then the expected proportion of the sick
days taken by a particular age group should be the same as the proportion of the
firms employees in that age group. We would have:
Age
2029 years
3039 years
4049 years
50 years and over
