Question:

Refer to the Behavioral Research in Accounting (July 2015) study of unethical corporate conduct, Exercise 6.15 (p. 316). Recall that each in a sample of 86 accounting graduate students was asked to perform an unethical task (e.g., to bribe a customer), and each subject's intention to comply with the unethical request score was measured. [Scores ranged from - 1.5 (intention to resist the unethical request) to 2.5 (intention to comply with the unethical request)]. Summary statistics on the 86 scores follow: x̅ = 2.42, s = 2.84. One researcher, of the opinion that subjects will tend to perform the unethical task, believes the population mean intention score μ will exceed 2. Do the data support this belief? Test using α = .01.
