   • Men have more right to a job than women rating (agree, disagree, neither)
   • Ethnic background(s) (173 listed)
4. Using the providedpivot table, you will find the frequency for the category (or intersection of categories) chosen for the countries you selected for your current and new business locations.
5. Use the frequencies found to determine the percentage of the population represented for each country.
6. Write a hypothesis about the situation. Your hypothesis will be stating whether you think the percentage of the population of the new country chosen will be less than, greater than, or not equal to the percentage found for the current country. While writing your hypothesis, be sure to use all the correct notations for H₀and H_a.
7. State whether you have a one-tailed lower, one-tailed upper, or two-tailed test.
8. Write a brief description of how the outcome may impact your businesses success in the new country.

Recall that:

• Type I error is defined as rejecting the null hypothesis when in fact it should not be rejected (i.e., "false positive," "false alarm," defendant found guilty when in fact innocent).
• Type II error is defined as not rejecting the null hypothesis when in fact it should be rejected (i.e., "false negative," defendant found not guilty when in fact guilty).

Review a classmate's thread. In the context of their hypothesis test, discuss what the type I error and type II error would mean, using a decision table as your guide.

Seeguidancefor what a type I and type II error will be in regards to your classmate's hypothesis test.

Review another classmate's thread. Suppose you are the researcher of the hypothesis test.

• Choose a level of significance.
• Determine whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis about the current country of business and the new country.
• Write a statement to the manager in charge of the project about what should be done based on your observations and the hypothesis test performed.
