Refer to the NAWIC Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education & Practice (April 2013) study of the job satisfaction of members of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), Exercise 9.24. The results for the survey of 477 women are reproduced in the accompanying table. Use statistical software to conduct an exact test to determine if an NAWIC member’s satisfaction with life as an employee is related to their satisfaction with job challenge. Test using α =.05.

Data from Exercise 9.24

The hiring of women in construction and construction-related jobs has steadily increased over the years. A study was conducted to provide employers with information designed to reduce the potential for turnover of female employees (Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education & Practice, April 2013). A survey questionnaire was emailed to members of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC). A total of 477 women responded to survey questions on job challenge and satisfaction with life as an employee. The results (number of females responding in the different categories) are summarized in the accompanying table. What conclusions can you draw from the data regarding the association between an NAWIC member’s satisfaction with life as an employee and their satisfaction with job challenge?
