According to the Bureau of the Census, the mean annual income of government employees is $35,000. There is some doubt that this mean is representative of incomes of government employees living in the San Francisco Bay area. Based on a sample of 49 government employees yielding a mean of $35,600 and a standard deviation of $1400, at the .05 level of significance, test whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean annual income of government employees living in the Bay area is different than the national average

You plan to conduct a survey to find what proportion of the workforce has two or more jobs. You decide on the 80% confidence level and state that the estimated proportion must be within 1% of the population proportion. A pilot survey reveals that 8 of the 40 sampled hold two or more jobs. How many in the workforce should be interviewed to meet your requirements? (Round the intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round the final answer to nearest whole number.) Number of persons to be interviewed
