Additional Problem: The median number of part-time employees at fast food restaurants in a particular city was known to be 15 last year. City officials think the use of part-time employees may be increasing. A sample of 9 fast food restaurants showed that there were more than 15 employees at 7 of the restaurants, one restaurant had exactly 15 employees, and one had fewer than 15 employees. Test at alpha = 0.05 whether it can be concluded that there has been an increase in the median number of part-time employees.
