    2. Number of Jobs The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics reported that a person between the ages of 18 and 34 has had an average of 9.2 jobs. To see if this average is correct, a researcher selected a sample of 8 workers between the ages of 18 and 34 and asked how many different places they had worked. The results were as follows:

    8 12 15 6 1 9 13 2

    At α = 0.05 can it be concluded that the mean is 9.2?
    Use the P-value method. Give one reason why the respondents might not have given the exact number of jobs that they have worked.

    a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.

    b. Compute the test value.

    c. Find the P-value.

    d. Make the decision.

    e. Summarize the results.

    We're not here to do your homework. You should at least be able to start this on your own. "State your hypothesis and identify the claim." What is your hypothesis and why do you believe so? It is a different matter if you had no idea what to start with than if you're completely lazy.
