(17.32) Successful hotel managers must have personality
characteristics often thought of as feminine (such as
“compassionate”) as well as those often thought of as masculine
(such as “forceful”). The Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) is a
personality test that gives separate ratings for female and male
stereotypes, both on a scale of 1 to 7. A sample of 148 male
general managers of three-star and four-star hotels had mean BSRI
femininity score x¯¯¯x¯ = 5.29. The mean score for the general male
population is μμ = 5.19. Do hotel managers, on the average, differ
significantly in femininity score from men in general? Assume that
the standard deviation of scores in the population of all male
hotel managers is the same as the σσ = 0.78 for the adult male
population.
