A shareholders’ group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 9 years. A survey of 80 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 8 years for CEOs with a standard deviation of s= 4 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007). You don’t know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed.

You want to formulate and test a hypothesis that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by the group, at a significance level of α=0.05. Your hypotheses are:

      H_o: μ≥9
      H_a: μ<9

A shareholders’ group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 9 years. A survey of 120 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 7.3 years for CEOs with a standard deviation of s=s= 5.8 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007).

A shareholders’ group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 9 years. A survey of 69 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 8.8 years for CEOs with a standard deviation of s=s= 4 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007).

A shareholders’ group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders’ group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief executive officer (CEO) was at least 11 years. A survey of 94 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 10.6 years for CEOs with a standard deviation of s= 5.8 years (The Wall Street Journal, June 9, 2015). You don’t know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed.

A shareholders’ group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 10 years. A survey of 54 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 8.4 years for CEOs with a standard deviation of s=s= 4.3 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007). You don’t know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed.

There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is less than 10.

A shareholders’ group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 11 years.
