Call centers typically have high turnover. The director of human resources for a large bank has compiled data on about 70 former employees at one of the bank�s call centers in the Excel file Call Center Data . In writing an article about call center working conditions, a reporter has claimed that the average tenure is no more than two years. Formulate and test a hypothesis using these data to determine if this claim can be disputed.

We have to test weather average tenure is no more than two years.
Let us suppose the hypothesis
Average Tenure (length of service) is more than 2 years
years
Average Tenure (length of service) is no more than 2 years
years (Left hand Tail)
Total number of observations n=70
mean length of service years
Standard deviation of length of service=s=1.098
The test stastic to test the hypothesis is given as
P value of test will be
P(T<-0.81)=0.211
Because p value is very high >0.05
We will fail to reject null hypothesis
We conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that average tenure is no more than 2 years
