Use Question 28 as your case scenario. Presume you are the current CEO and you are trying to determine the timing on your plan for a successor. Be sure to make a recommendation on when you should begin transitioning in to your successor.
28. A shareholders' group, in lodging a protest, claimed that the mean tenure for a chief executive officer (CEO) was at least nine years.
A survey of companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of x = 7.27 years for CEOs with a standard deviation of s = 6.38 years.
a. Formulate hypotheses that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by the shareholders' group.
b. Assume 85 companies were included in the sample. What is the p- value for your hypothesis test?
c. At a = .01, what is your conclusion? Instructions
