Case Analysis: Riverside Chamber of Commerce
ABC Corporation of California publishes a variety of statistics, including the number of individuals who got a new job during the past 12 months and the mean length of time the individuals have been on the job. The Statistical Analysis Department of ASBC Corporation reported that the mean length of time of newly employed individuals in California was 17.00 weeks.
A local Chamber of Commerce for the City of Riverside has commissioned a study on the status of employment in the Riverside area. A sample of 16 employed residents of Riverside included data on the age and the number of weeks on a job. A portion of the data collected in October 2001 is shown as follows:
