According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, all workers in America who had a bachelor's degree and were employed earned an average of $1232 a week in 2014. A recent sample of 403 American workers who have a bachelor's degree showed that they earn an average of $1242 per week. Suppose that the population standard deviation of such earnings is $144.

a. Find the p-value for the test of hypothesis with the alternative hypothesis that the current mean weekly earning of American workers who have a bachelor's degree is higher than $1232. Will you reject the null hypothesis at α=0.025?

Round your answer to four decimal places.

p-value =

b. Test the hypothesis of part a using the critical-value approach and α=0.025.

Round your answer for the observed value of z to three decimal places.

z =
