Recent research commissioned by Vodafone suggests that older workers are the happiest employees (BBC News, July 21, 2008). The report documents that 70% of older workers in England feel fulfilled, compared with just 50% of younger workers. A demographer believes that an identical pattern does not exist in Asia. A survey of 120 older workers in Asia finds that 75 feel fulfilled. A similar survey finds that 58% of 210 younger workers feel fulfilled. At a 5% level of significance, test if older workers in Asia feel less fulfilled than their British counterparts.
a-1. Select the null and the alternative hypotheses.
H0: p ≥ 0.70; HA: p < 0.70
H0: p = 0.70; HA: p ≠ 0.70
H0: p ≤ 0.70; HA: p > 0.70
a-2. Calculate the sample proportion. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Sample proportion
a-3. Calculate the value of test statistic. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Test statistic
a-4. Calculate the p-value of the test statistic.(Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.)
p-value
a-5. What is the conclusion?
Older workers in Asia feel less fulfilled
Older workers in Asia do not feel less fulfilled
At a 5% level of significance, test if younger workers in Asia feel more fulfilled than their British counterparts.

H0: p = 0.50; HA: p ≠ 0.50
H0: p ≥ 0.50; HA: p < 0.50
H0: p ≤ 0.50; HA: p > 0.50
