Question:
A study found that the average workweek is getting longer for U.S. full-time workers. Forty-three percent of the responding workers in the survey cited “more work, more business” as the reason for this increase in workweek, 37% of the workers named insufficient number of workers to get the work done as the reason, and 5% of the workers blamed the use of technology that blurred the boundary between life and work. Additionally, 15% of the workers selected other reasons. Suppose you want to test these figures in Canada to determine whether Canadian workers feel the same way. A random sample of 315 Canadian full-time workers whose workweek has been getting longer is chosen. They are offered a selection of possible reasons for this increase and 120 pick “more work, more business,” 114 select “insufficient number of workers,” only 23 say “technology,” and 58 cite “others.” Use techniques presented in this chapter and an α of 0.10 to determine whether the U.S. figures hold true in Canada.
