HYPOTHESIS TESTING A WORKED EXAMPLE: ONE-SAMPLE TEST Example: Minimum wage Suppose we're interested in determining whether fast food workers receive wages that are above the minimum wage of $7.25/hour. We collect a sample of 64 fast food workers and, from the sample, compute an average wage of $8.00/hour and a standard deviation of $.30/hour. Can we reject the hypothesis that fast food workers are paid the minimum wage in favor of the hypothesis that they are paid more than the minimum wage?
