These variables are age, years of experience, level of education, engagement, job satisfaction, and performance level. She thinks that employees with more years of experience are more engaged and satisfied. She thinks that younger employees will perform at a higher level, on average.

1. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

2. Select the significance level.

3. Select the test statistics and calculate its value.

4. Identify critical values for the test statistics and state the decision rule concerning when to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

5. Compare the calculated and critical values to reach a conclusion for the null hypothesis.
