A doctor wants to compare the average price between two different brands of sanitizer during the COVID-19 outbreaks. For this reason, he has recorded the selling price of Brand X and Y based on six and five random selected stores, respectively. The recorded prices are recorded in Table 2. Based on the sample data, at 0.1 level of significance, can we claim that the average price of Brand A is lower than Brand B? Make your conclusion using the pvalue approach, with the aid of Mic. Office EXCEL. Table 2 Brand A RM10.50 RM11.00 RM10.50 RM11.20 RM10.70 RM10.80 Brand B RM11.00 RM11.00 RM10.70 RM11.20 RM10.40 RM10.50 RM10.20
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
