(choose chapter or problem)

The article “Predicting Profit Performance for Selecting Candidate International Construction Projects” (S. Han, D. Kim, and H. Kim, Journal of Construction Engineering and Management Science, 2007: 425–436) presents an analysis of the profit of international construction projects. In a sample of 126 projects, the average profit margin (in percent) was 8.24 with a standard deviation of 16.33. A test is made of \(H_{0}: \mu \geq 10 \text { versus } H_{1}: \mu<10\)

a. Find the P-value.

b. Do you believe that it is plausible that the mean profit margin is at least 10%, or are you convinced that it is less than 10%? Explain your reasoning.
