A customer buys a $463.38 entertainment device from a department store. The department store sells 2-year warranties for the purchase for $38 and, based on past recor estimates that there a 5.6% chance that the warranty will be used to replace a broken device. Calculate the expected value of the store's profit on each one of these warrant sold. Use two decimal place accuracy.

Average adult Americans are about one inch taller, but nearly a whopping 25 pounds heavier than they were in 1960, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The bad news, says CDC is that average BMI (body mass index, a weight-for-height formula used to measure obesity) has increased among adults...” Boston is considered one of America’s healthiest cities – is the weight gain since 1960 similar in Boston? A sample of n=28 adults suggested a mean increase of 19.5 pounds over the mean recorded in 1960 with a standard deviation of 8.6 pounds. Is Boston statistically significantly different in terms of weight gain from the national mean since 1960? Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance. Please use the five steps to demonstrate proper hypothesis testing and explain your results. Please do not use any software calculations.
