Derive the p-value and test the null hypothesis that students do not differ from the labor force of The Netherlands. Use a significance level of 5%.


    1. FALSE: p = 0.093, the null hypothesis is not rejected.
    2. TRUE: p = 0.066, the null hypothesis is not rejected.
    3. FALSE: p = 0.047, the null hypothesis is rejected.
    4. FALSE: p = 0.033, the null hypothesis is rejected.
