At a large company, the attitudes of workers are regularly measured with a standardized test. The scores on the test range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater job satisfaction. The mean score for all the company's employees was 74, with a standard deviation of 8. A few years ago, the company adopted a telecommuting policy in which workers could spend one work day per week working from home. Recently, a simple random sample (SRS) of 40 telecommuters had the following worker attitude scores. Assume the standard deviation of telecommuter scores is also 8. 67 41 80 72 65 86 83 86 78 60 90 80 78 74 67 96 81 85 73 62 92 75 80 74 68 80 77 75 78 66 80 79 78 79 81 86 75 83 78 82 Can we conclude that the mean telecommuter attitude score is different from the mean attitude score of all workers?
