Varatta Enterprises sells industrial plumbing valves. The following table lists the annual sales amounts for a portion of the salespeople in the organization for the most recent fiscal year. a. Compute the mean (in $1000), variance (in $10002), and standard deviation (in $1000) for these annual sales values. Round your answers to the nearest whole number. b. In the previous fiscal year, the average annual sales amount was 290 thousand with a standard deviation of 95 thousand. Discuss any differences you observe between the annual sales amount in the most recent and previous fiscal years. Which of the following is correct? (i) The difference in the mean annual sales amount is very small and is most likely due to random change in demand for these products. (ii) The sample mean annual sales amount and standard deviation for the previous fiscal year were significantly higher. (iii) The sample mean annual sales amount and standard deviation for the previous fiscal year were significantly…

(a) TV stations use ratings to decide which shows to keep or cancel. Therefore, the A. C. Nielsen Company collects data on the TV viewing habits of Americans and publishes the information in Nielsen Report on Television. Suppose that you want to use a paired sample to decide whether the mean viewing times of married men and married women differ: 1. Identify the variable. 2. Identify the two populations. 3. Identify the pairs. 4. Identify the paired-difference variable.
Periodically, customers of a financial services company are asked to evaluate the company's financial consultants and services. Higher ratings on the client satisfaction survey indicate better service, with 7 the maximum service rating. Independent samples of service ratings for two financial consultants are summarized here. Consultant A has 10 years of experience, whereas consultant B has 1 year of experience. Use ? = 0.05 and test to see whether the consultant with more experience has the higher population mean service rating. Assume the population variances are unequal. Consultant A Consultant B n1 = 16 n2 = 10 x1 = 6.85 x2 = 6.25 s1 = 0.69 s2 = 0.75 (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. -H0:?1 − ?2 = 0 Ha:?1 − ?2 = 0 -H0:?1 − ?2 > 0 Ha:?1 − ?2 = 0 -H0:?1 − ?2 ≠ 0 Ha:?1 − ?2 = 0 -H0:?1 − ?2 = 0 Ha:?1 − ?2 > 0 -H0:?1 − ?2 = 0 Ha:?1 − ?2 ≠ 0 (b) Compute the value of the test statistic.
