Assignment:
Using survey responses from the AIU data set, complete the following requirements in the form of a 2-page report:
TEST #1
Perform the following two-tailed hypothesis test, using a .05 significance level:
• Intrinsic by Gender
• State the null and an alternate statement for the test
• Use Microsoft Excel (Data Analysis Tools) to process your data and run the appropriate test. Copy and paste the results of the output to your report in Microsoft Word.
• Identify the significance level, the test statistic, and the critical value.
• State whether you are rejecting or failing to reject the null hypothesis statement.
• Explain how the results could be used by the manager of the company.
TEST #2
Perform the following two-tailed hypothesis test, using a .05 significance level:
• Extrinsic variable by Position Type
• State the null and an alternate statement for the test
• Use Microsoft Excel (Data Analysis Tools) to process your data and run the appropriate test.
• Copy and paste the results of the output to your report in Microsoft Word.
• Identify the significance level, the test statistic, and the critical value.
• State whether you are rejecting or failing to reject the null hypothesis statement.
• Explain how the results could be used by the manager of the company.
GENERAL ANALYSIS (Research Required)
Using your textbook or other appropriate college-level resources:
• Explain when to use a t-test and when to use a z-test. Explore the differences.
• Discuss why samples are used instead of populations.
The report should be well written and should flow well with no grammatical errors. It should include proper citation in APA formatting in both the in-text and reference pages and include a title page, be double-spaced, and in Times New Roman, 12-point font. APA formatting is necessary to ensure academic honesty.
Be sure to provide references in APA format for any resource you may use to support your answers.

The margins, font size, spacing, and font type (italics or plain) are set in APA format. While you may change the names of the headings and subheadings, do not change the font or style of font.
Hypothesis Test #1 Looking at Intrinsic Satisfaction by Gender
Null and alternate hypotheses.
Write out a Null & Alternate Hypothesis (alpha = .05).
The test
Use Excel to perform the test. Paste the results in the document.
In a separate sentence, specifically identify the significance level (alpha), the test statistics and the critical value.
State your decision
State whether you are rejecting or failing to reject the null hypothesis statement. Explanation of decision made
Comment on why you are making your decision in terms of how the test statistic compares to the critical value or in terms of how the p value compares to the alpha. Applications for managers
Discuss how the manager of the company could use this information specifically. Why is this information valuable?
Hypothesis Test #2 Looking at Extrinsic Satisfaction by Position
Null and alternate hypotheses
Write out a Null & Alternate Hypothesis (alpha = .05).
The test
Use Excel to perform the test. Paste the results in the document
In a separate sentence, specifically identify the significance level (alpha), the test statistics and the critical value.
State your decision
State whether you are rejecting or failing to reject the null hypothesis statement. Explanation of decision made
Comment on why you are making your decision in terms of how the test statistic compares to the critical value or in terms of how the p value compares to the alpha. Applications for managers
Discuss how the manager of the company could use this information specifically. Why is this information valuable?
Z and T Tests
Explain the difference between the Z and T test and when each one is used.
Samples and Populations
Explain the difference between a sample and the population. Why are samples used for hypothesis tests? Be sure to be specific.
Conclusion
Add some concluding remarks in about 2-3 sentences.
