Managerial Report
Prepare a report forthe dean of the college that summarizes your assessitient ofthe natre
of cheating by business students at Bayview University, Be sure to include the following
items in your report
1. Use descriptive statisties to summarize the data and comment on your findings,
2. Develop 95% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students, the proportion
cof male students, and the proportion of female students who were involved in some
type of cheating.
3. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the proportion of business students gt
Bayview University who were involved in some type of cheating is less than that of
business students at other institutions as reparted by the Chronicle of Higher
Eudeation,
4. Conduct 2 hypothesis test to determine if the proportion of business students at
Bayview University who were involved in some form of cheating is less than the
‘of nonbusiness students at other institutions as reported by the Cironicle of Higher
Education,
‘5. What advice would you give to the dean based upon your analysis ofthe data?
Hypothesis Testing with Minitab
We describe the use of Minitab to conduct hypothesis tests about a population mean and a
population proportion,
Population Mean: « Known
We illustrate using the MaxFlight golf ball distance example in Section 9.3. The data are in
column C1 of a Minitab worksheet. The population standard deviation o = 12 is assumed
Known and the level of significance is « = .05. The following steps can be used to test the
hypothesis Hg: 2 = 295 versus Hy: ps # 295,
Step 1. Select the Stat menu
Step 2. Choose Basie Statistics
Step 3. Choose 1-Sample Z.

In addition tothe hypothesis testing results, Minitab provides a 95% confidence interval for
the population mean.

Appendix 9.2. Hypothesis Testing with Excel
Excel does not provide built-in routines for the hypothesis tests presented in this chapter
To handle these situations, we present Excel worksheets that we designed to use as tem:
plates for testing hypotheses about a population mean and a population proportion. The
\workshects are easy to use and can be modified to handle any sample data, The worksheets
are available on the website that accompanies this book,

‘use the template for this data set.
Step 1. Enter the data range A2:461 into the =COUNT cell formula in cell D4

Step 4. Enter the hypothesized value for the population mean 7 into cell DS
“The remaining cell formulas automatically provide the standard error, the value of the test

hypothesis (> 7) indicates an upper tal test, the p-value (Upper Tail) in cell DiS is used
to make the decision, With p-value = .0353 < ct = ,05, the null hypothesis is rejected, The

tions. For instance, to conduct a hypothesis test for a new data set, enter the new sample

Population Proportion
We illustrate using the Pine Creek golf course survey data presented in Section 9.5,
‘The data of Male or Female golfer are in column A of an Excel worksheet. Refer to
Figure 9.13 as we describe the procedure. The background worksheet shows the call for-
mula used to compute the results shown in the foreground worksheet. The data are en-
tered into cells A2:A401, The following steps can be used {0 test the hypothesis Ho:
p= 20 versus Hy: p > 20.
Step 1. Enter the data range A2:A401 into the =COUNTA cell formula in eet! D3
Step 2. Enter Female as the response of interest in cell D4
‘Step 3. Enter the data range A2:A401 into the =COUNTIF cell formula in cell DS
Step 4. Enter the hypothesized value For the population proportion .20 into cell D8
‘The remaining cell formulas automatically provide the standard error, the value of
the test statistic z, and three p-values, Because the alternative hypothesis (p> 20)
indicates an upper tal test, the p-value (Upper Tail) in cell DI is used to make the de
cision. With p-value = 0062 < a = .05, the mill hypothesis is rejected. The p-values in
cells DIS or DIS would be used if the hypothesis involved a lower tail test or a two-
tailed test.
