A recent report of the real estate association mentioned that the average monthly workhours of
construction workers is 210. The union of the construction workers claims this as underreporting. The
controversy is being investigated by the local media and to settle matters they do a random sample survey
of the daily workhours (tabulated below). Conduct a null hypothesis significance test (at 5% level of
significance), assuming the population is normally distributed. .

A sample survey to assess stock investment risk of start-up firms was conducted. The data is shown in the
table below along with the risk for established firms. Using the chi-squared goodness-of-fit test (at 5%
level of significance), comment on whether the risk of investing in start-up firms is similar to that of
established firms.
Investment risk | Sample start- | Established
up firms ‘firms
| High 155 52.0%
Medium 100 35.0%
Low 40 10.0%
Poor 30 3.0%
