The Rocky Mountain district sales manager of Rath Publishing Inc., a college textbook publishing company, claims that the sales

To investigate, a random sample of 41 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 40. The standard deviation of the sample is 5.6 calls.

Answer:

We conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 37.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the Rocky Mountain district sales manager of Rath Publishing Inc., a college textbook publishing company, claims that the sales representatives make an average of 37 sales calls per week on professors.

To investigate, a random sample of 41 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 40. The standard deviation of the sample is 5.6 calls.

<em><u>Let </u></em>\mu<em><u> = true mean number of calls per salesperson per week.</u></em>

SO, <u>Null Hypothesis</u>, H_0 : \mu \leq 37   {means that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is less than or equal to 37}

<u>Alternate Hypothesis,</u> H_A : \mu > 37   {means that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 37}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                        T.S.  = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean number of calls made last week = 40

             s = sample standard deviation = 5.6 calls

             n = sample of sale representatives = 41

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em>  =   \frac{40-37}{\frac{5.6}{\sqrt{41} } }  ~ t_4_0

                               =  3.43

Hence, the value of test statistics is 3.43.

<em>Now at 0.025 significance level, the t table gives critical value of 2.021 at 40 degree of freedom for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of t as 3.43 > 2.021, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 37.

A yard of fabric costs $12.99. How much will 5 feet cost?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

$21.65

brainliest?

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 3 feet

so 5 feet would =  to 1 2/3 yards = 5/3 yards

12.99*5/3

12 99/100=1299/100

1299/100 x 5/3=433/20

433/20 = 21  13/20

13/20 x  5/5= 65/100=0.65

0.65+21

$21.65

hope this helped!
