Question: Use the figure shown at the left,
Use the figure shown at the left, which gives the percentages of full-time employed men and women in the United States who work 40 hours per week and who work more than 40 hours per week. Assume the survey included random samples of 300 men and 250 women.
At α = 0.05, can you support the claim that the proportion of the U.S. workforce that works 40 hours per week is greater for women than for men?
