A company is studying the number of monthly absences among its 125 employees. The following probability distribution shows the likelihood that people were absent 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days last month.
Number of days absent Probability
0 0.5
1 0.2
2 0.15
3 0.1
4 0.04
5 0.01
Is this a probability distribution? Why? What is the random variable? What is the probability that a randomly selected employee were absent for more than 3 days? What is the probability that a randomly selected employee were absent for at least 3 days?

The Human Resources Director for a large company is studying
absenteeism among hourly workers. A sample of 120 day shift
employees showed 15 were absent more than five days last year. A
sample of 80 afternoon employees showed 18 to be absent five or
more times. At the 0.01 significance level can we conclude that
there is a higher proportion of absenteeism among afternoon
employees?
1. State the Null and Alternate Hypothesis(H0, H1).
2. Determine the level of significance.
