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

representatives make an average of 43 sales calls per week on professors. Several reps say that this estimate is too low. To investigate, a random sample of 29 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 44. The standard deviation of the sample is 4.1 calls. Using the 0.050 significance level, can we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 43? H0: μ ≤ 43 H1: μ > 43 Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Answer:

The critical region for α= 0.05 is Z > ± 1.645

The calculated value of Z= 1.100

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternate hypotheses are given

H0: μ ≤ 43

H1: μ > 43  one tail test

∝= 0.05

n= 29

Standard Deviation= s= 4.1

Mean = μ0 = 44

For one tail test the z value of α= ± 1.645

The critical region for α= 0.05 is Z > ± 1.645

The test statistic is given by

z=μ0-μ/ s/√n

Z= 44-43/4.1/√29

Z= 1/4.1/√29

Z= 1.100

Since the calculated value Z= 1.100 does not  fall in the critical region , We reject H0 and may conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is not more than 43

larisa [96]

Answer:

As Z, it is possible to reject null hypotesis. It means that the local mean height is less tha 0.7 m with a 5% level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Relevant data:

\mu=0.70\\N=40\\\alpha=0.05\\X=0.65\\s=0.20

2. Hypotesis testing

H_{0}=\mu=0.70

H_{1} =\mu< 0.70

3. Find the rejection area

From the one tail standard normal chart, whe have Z-value for \alpha=0.05 is 1.56

Then rejection area is left 1.56 in normal curve.

4. Find the test statistic:

Z=\frac{X-\mu_{0} }{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}

Z=\frac{0.65-0.70}{0.20/\sqrt{40}}\\Z=-1.58

5. Hypotesis Testing

Z_{\alpha}=1.56\\Z=-1.58

-1.58

As Z, it is possible to reject null hypotesis. It means that the local mean height is less tha 0.7 m with a 5% level of significance.

Since 64 is x2 the number 32, and the tax for that is 1.87 you times that times 2 so:

1.87x2=3.74
