13. A study by Hewitt Associates showed that 79% of companies offer employees flexible scheduling. Suppose a researcher believes that in accounting firms this figure is lower. To test this belief, the research set up the following hypotheses: HO:p=79 Ha: p<.79 where p is the proportion of the accounting firms that offer flexible scheduling, The researcher took a random sample of accounting firms and found that the test statistic is -1.56. At 5% level of significance level, what is the correct conclusion of the test? The alternative hypothesis (Ha) should be rejected. Do not reject the null hypothesis (HO). The null hypothesis (HO) should be rejected. The null hypothesis (HO) should be accepted.
