A market research firm supplies manufacturers with estimates of the retail sales of their products from samples of retail stores

. Marketing managers are prone to look at the estimate and ignore sampling error. An SRS of 28
stores this year shows mean sales of 64 units of a small appliance, with a standard deviation of 13.8 units. During the same point in time last year, an SRS of 28 stores had mean sales of 48.958 units, with standard deviation 15.4 units. An increase from 48.958 to 64 is a rise of about 24%.


1. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the difference μ1−μ2

μ1−μ2, where μ1 is the mean of this year's sales and μ2 is the mean of last year's sales.


(b) The margin of error is



2. At a 0.01 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to show that sales this year are different from last year?

Answer:

Confidence interval = (4.61972, 25.46428)

Margin of Error = 3.9078675

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

This year:

Mean (μ1) = 64

Standard deviation (s1) = 13.8

Sample size (n1) = 28

Last year:

Mean (μ2) = 48.958

Standard deviation (s2) = 15.4

Sample size (n2) = 28

99% confidence interval estimate of the difference μ1−μ2

α = 1 - 99% = 0.01

(μ1−μ2) ± t0.01,27 * (√s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

t0.01, 27 = 2.770683 (t value calculator)

√s1²/n1 + s2²/n2 = √13.8^2/28 + 15.4^2/28 = 3.9078675

(64 - 48.958) ± 2.667(3.9078675)

15.042 ± 10.42228

(15.042 - 10.42228), (15.042 + 10.42228)

(4.61972, 25.46428)

The margin of error :

√(s1²/n1) + (s2²/n2)

√(13.8^2/28) + (15.4^2/28)

√(6.8014285 + 8.47)

√15.2714285

= 3.9078675

Tickets to Dundee crowns mr.dchs are $3 for students and $5 for adults. The number of adult tickets sold was 195 more than the n
Maurinko [17]

Answer: number of tickets sold to adult = 566

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of tickets sold by DCHS to students.

Let y = number of tickets sold DCHS to adults.

Tickets to Dundee crowns mr.dchs are $3 for students and $5 for adults.

This means cost of total tickets sold to students and adults is $3x and $5y respectively.

If DCHS collected $3943 for the tickets, then we have

3x + 5y = 3943 - - - - - -1

The number of adult tickets sold was 195 more than the number of student tickets. This means

y = x +195.

Put y = x +195 in equation 1

3x + 5(x+195) = 3943

3x + 5x + 975= 3943

8x +975=3943

8x = 3943-975= 2968

x = 2968/8 = 371

y = 371 + 195= 566

Solve y
Ksivusya [100]

The value of y in -3 = 7\left(y-\dfrac97\right) is 6/7

<h3>How to solve for y?</h3>

The equation is given as:

-3 = 7\left(y-\dfrac97\right)

Open the bracket

-3 = 7y - 9

Add 9 to both sides of the equation

7y = 6

Divide both sides by 7

y= 6/7

Hence, the value of y in -3 = 7\left(y-\dfrac97\right) is 6/7
