A game is played using a four-sided wooden top, with one of four letters on each face, A, B, C, or D. Players compete for a pot of tokens. A player spins the top and takes one of the following actions, depending on which letter faces up. • If A faces up, the player neither adds nor subtracts tokens from the pot. • If B faces up, the player wins the entire pot of tokens. • If C faces up, the player wins half of the tokens in the pot, rounding up if the number is odd. • If D faces up, the player adds a token to the pot. Assume that each face of the top is equally likely to face upward and that the pot holds 28 tokens. Let the random variable X be the amount of tokens won by a player. Thus, the range of X is {-1,0,14,28}. Let the probability mass function be f(x) = P(X=x) and the cumulative probability function be F(x) = P(X

At an art store, the mean sale amount is $1250 per customer. The owner thinks that the mean sales amount increases during promotion. A random sample of 45 paintings purchased during a promotion was selected, the sample mean sales amount is x¯=1315. Assume σ=$155. How can I implement the hypothesis test to check if the mean sales amount increases during promotion, and let α=0.01. I want to solve by both P-value method and reject region method.
