The data at left are monthly sales totals from a random sample of 33 stores in a large chain of nationwide sporting goods stores. All stores in the franchise, and thus within the sample, are approximately the same size and carry the same merchandise. The county, o r in some cases counties, in which the store draws the majority of its customers is referred to here as the customer base. For each of the 33 set are:Sales ——Latest one month sales total (dollars)Income —Median family income of customer base (dollars)Age ——–Median age of customer base (years)HS ———-Percentage of customer base with a high school diplomaCollege —Percentage of customer base with a college diplomaGrowth —Annual population growth rate of customer base over the past 10 years._______________________________________________________________________________________Q-2a.

You have data to indicate that the mean download time for the homepage is 5.8 seconds and that the standard deviation of download time is 2.1 seconds.

You want to determine whether the population mean wait time for customer to check-out has changed in the past month from its previous population mean value of 4.25 minutes. From past experience, you can assume that the population is normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 1.6 minutes. You select a sample of 43 customers wait time to check-out during a one hour period. The sample mean is 4.75 minutes. Determine whether thereis evidence at the 0.05 level of significance that the population mean wait time to check-out has changed in the past month from its previous population mean value of 4.25 minutes.

In an effort to improve the amount of orders filled correctly, you developed a new process to fill orders. After sampling two-hundred fifty orders under this new process, the results reviled that 225 orders were filled correctly. At the 0.01 level of significance, can you conclude that the new process population proportion of orders filledcorrectly is higher than the proportion of orders filled under the old process?

The management of a bank in the Caribbean was concerned about the potential loss thatmight occur in the event of a hurricane. The bank estimated that the loss from one of thesestorms could be as much as $120 million including losses due to interrupted service and customerrelations. One project the bank is considering is the installation of an emergency power generatorat its operations headquarters. The cost of the emergency generator is $550,000, and if it isinstalled no losses from this type of storm will be incurred. However, if the generator is notinstalled, there is a 10% chance that a power outage will occur during the next year. If there is anoutage there is a 5% probability that the resulting losses will be very large or approximately $135million in lost earnings. Alternatively it is estimated that there is a 95% probability of only slightlosses of around $1.1 million. Using decision tree analysis, determined whether the bank shouldinstall the new power generator.
