Using the z-distribution, we have that:

a)

The hypothesis test is:

$H_0: \mu = 7.4$

$H_1: \mu < 7.4$

The p-value is of 0.0668.

The critical value is $z^{\ast} = -1.28$

b) Since the <u>test statistic is less than the critical value</u> for the left-tailed test, there is enough evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Item a:

At the null hypothesis, it is <u>tested if the mean is of 7.4 minutes</u>, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 7.4$

At the alternative hypothesis, it is <u>tested if the mean is lower than 7.4 minutes</u>, that is:

$H_1: \mu < 7.4$

We have the <u>standard deviation for the population</u>, hence, the z-distribution is used.

The test statistic is given by:

$z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

The parameters are:

$\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

$\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

$\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the sample.

n is the sample size.

For this problem, the values of the <em>parameters </em>are: $\overline{x} = 7.1, \mu = 7.4, \sigma = 1.2, n = 36$ .

Hence, the value of the <em>test statistic</em> is:

$z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{7.1 - 7.4}{\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{36}}}$

$z = -1.5$

Using a z-distribution calculator, the p-value is of 0.0668.

Also using a calculator, considering a <u>left-tailed test</u>, as we are testing if the mean is less than a value, the critical value with a <u>significance level of 0.1</u> is of $z^{\ast} = -1.28$ .

Item b:

Since the <u>test statistic is less than the critical value</u> for the left-tailed test, there is enough evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis will be rejected.

The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning any lettuce that is left from the previ

jekas [21]

Given Information:

Cost price = $4

Selling price = $10

Salvage value = $1.50

Average demand = μ = 250 boxes

Standard deviation = σ = 34 boxes

Required Information:

Number of lettuce boxes = ?

Answer:

The supermarket should purchase 268 boxes of lettuce

Step-by-step explanation:

The required number of lettuce boxes that supermarket should purchase is given by

Number of lettuce boxes = μ + (z*σ)

Where μ is the average demand of lettuce boxes, σ is the standard deviation, and z is the z-score which is given by

p = C_us/(C_us + C_os)

The z-score corresponding to probability p will be obtained.

The cost of under stocking is given by

C_us = Selling price - Cost price

C_us = $10 - $4

C_us = $6

The cost of over stocking is given by

C_os = Cost price - Salvage value

C_os = $4 - $1.50

C_os = $2.50

p = C_us/(C_us + C_os)

p = 6/(6 + 2.50)

p = 0.7058

p = 70.58%

The z-score corresponding to 70.58% probability is approximately 0.54

Number of lettuce boxes = μ + (z*σ)

Number of lettuce boxes = 250 + (0.54*34)

Number of lettuce boxes = 250 + (18.36)

Number of lettuce boxes = 268.36

Number of lettuce boxes ≈ 268

Therefore, the supermarket should purchase 268 boxes of lettuce.

How to use z-table?

Step 1:

In the z-table, find the probability you are looking for and note down the two-digit number of the given row. (e.g 0.5, 2.2, 0.5 etc.)

Step 2:

Then look up at the top of z-table and note down the value in the column for the remaining decimal point in the range of 0.00 to 0.09.

Step 3:

Finally, add the numbers obtained from step 1 and step 2.
