Introduction:14
This paper analysis the income levels of42
employees in the fashion designers industry, this20
industry according to the bureau of labour in the22
United States it is estimated that this industry24
employs over 20,000 individuals according to the50
year 2006 statistics. This industry mainly focuses25
on dress making, clothing, shoes of different47
styles and making.68
Data on the income levels of employees in the27
fashion industry was retrieved from the bureau19

61350Binomial probability distribution:
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WVThe binomial probability distribution is applied to
30find the probability that an outcome will occur in a
27.07given number of trials. The variable in this case
56300however must be a discrete dichotomous random
Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NHvariable, in this distribution we consider n identical
680trials, each trial has two possible outcomes where
29.8we refer to a success and the other as a failure,
61990a success in our case will be denoted as P and a
Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA NECTA Divisionfailure will be denoted as Q. finally the outcome of
450one trial does not affect the outcome of the
29.61other trial,
61600In our case we will construct the binomial
Brockton-Bridgewater-Easton, MA NECTA Divisionprobability distribution using the statement that
60the employment level in the fashion and design
27.33industry is expected to grow by 5%, assuming
56850that our level of employment in our selected
Providence-Fall River-Warwick, RI-MAstates is 12,000 then we expect that in 2016 the
50employment level will be 70,000.
24.5According to this statistics the employment level
50970is based on a 2006 report and therefore the time
Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WIperiod is 10 years, which also means 120 months,
90so employment level is expected to increase by 5
27.64individual each month. This statistics were
57490retrieved . if now we assume that the probability
Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJof this happening is 70% then our binomial
30probability distribution will be as follows:
30.87The binomial probability function is given by:
64200P (x) =    n        ∏ x ( 1-∏ ) n-x

New York-White Plains-Wayne, NY-NJ Metropolitanwhich is the probability that the employment level
Divisionwill increase by 5% from 2006 to 2016.

Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, OR-WAfollows:
200The binomial probability distribution helps us
32.01estimate the probability of an outcome, in this
66590case we can be in a position to estimate the
Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJprobability for example what is the probability that
30the persons who are likely to be employed will be
30.87greater than 2 individuals, more than 3 individuals
64200or even less than one individuals, for this reason
Philadelphia, PA Metropolitan Divisiontherefore the probabilities can be calculated by
120adding the probabilities of each outcome to come
25.47up with the desired answer in question.
52970Hypothesis testing:
Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MDWe still consider our data from the fashion design
270industry to analyse the data, in hypothesis testing
31we will consider hypothesis test for the data and
64480stating the null and alternative hypothesis, in this

270the T table, Z table or even the F table on the
20.22nature of the test and deepening on the

5.384997295Linear regression:
11203.3099We will perform the regression model on the
MINemployment level and the hourly wage rate, we
30will assume that the higher the level of
14.42employment then the higher is the wage rate,
29980therefore we will assume that the wage rate
MAXdependent on the rate of employment, in this
7390case therefore our dependent variable will be

1correlation between the two data, we also have a
3%moderately strong relation and this is obtained by
15.51 TO 20.50the fact that the correlation coefficient is close to

20.51 TO 25.50Summary:
4From our statistical analysis that we have
7performed on the fashion and design industry it is
13%clear that the industry provides employment to a
25.51 TO 30.50large number of individuals in the United States, in
8our selected states which are 6 in number the
15industry employs over 12,000 individuals according
27%to the 2006 statistics.
30.51 TO 35.50According to the bureau of labour in the United
9States the growth rate of this industry is
24expected to grow by 2016 where its
30%employment rate will increase by 5%, when
35.51 TO 40.50calculating using the percentage given then it is
6clear that by 2016 the employment level of the
30industry in our selected state will increase from
20%19,000.
30When we perform a linear regression estimation
100%of the data and consider that the wage rate is
Our histogram will be as follows:dependent on the employment level then it is
This histogram shows that there is a highclear that the employment level positively affect
