    Question

    A survey among Dutch employees showed that the group of employees with burn-out complaints (n = 16) were on average for 189 days absent, with a standard deviation of 38 days. A critical student of Organizational Sciences asserts that the average number of days missed due to absence of all Dutch employees is actually 200.

    Calculate the observed t-value associated with the testing of this hypothesis.


    1. FALSE: -0.29
    2. TRUE: -1.16
    3. FALSE: -4.63
    4. FALSE: -7.14
    5. FALSE: -2.33

    Solution

    You can calculate this : (189-200)/9,5=-1,16

    The 9,5 is calculated by s/√n=38/4=9,5
