A general merhandise chain store wants to know if two if its local stores’ sales profiles are similar to that of the general chain. The general daily revenue of the chain is $ 93.5 daily (in thousands) per store. The chain is tracking the sales of each store. The CEO sends two accountants to the stores below to quantify with 95% confidence whether Store A has less sales and store B has more sales in comparison to the general chain’s store profile.  In store A, a monthly sample of daily sales is collected for 31 days. According to the samples, this store has a daily average revenue of 91.5 with standard deviation 5.56. Can the acountant declare that the sales revenue of this store is similar to that of the chain?  In store B, a monthly sample of daily sales is collected for 25 days. According to the samples, this store has a daily average revenue of 94.7 with standard deviation 6.0. Can the acountant declare that the sales revenue of this store is similar to that of the chain? Hint: use the following to transform the x axis to z or t axis

A general merhandise chain store wants to know if two if its local stores’ sales profiles are similar to that of the general chain. The general daily revenue of the chain is $ 93.5 daily (in thousands) per store. The chain is tracking the sales of each store. The CEO sends two accountants to the stores below to quantify with 95% confidence whether Store A has less sales and store B has more sales in comparison to the general chain’s store profile.

  1.  In store A, a monthly sample of daily sales is collected for 31 days. According to the samples, this store has a daily average revenue of 91.5 with standard deviation 5.56. Can the acountant declare that the sales revenue of this store is similar to that of the chain?
  2.  In store B, a monthly sample of daily sales is collected for 25 days. According to the samples, this store has a daily average revenue of 94.7 with standard deviation 6.0. Can the acountant declare that the sales revenue of this store is similar to that of the chain?

Hint: use the following to transform the x axis to z or t axis

 

For the following questions assume that the overall standard deviation is equal to $8 and the chain has data from 100 samples.

  1. The chain decides to generalize the inspection scheme and settles for a lenient comparison threshold of 90% confidence. Find a confidence interval of daily revenue for the stores of the entire chain.
  2.  For a randomly selected store, on a randomly selected date, what is the probability of having a revenue larger than $ 95 ?
  3.  On a randomly selected date, for a randomly selected store, at most how much revenue is expected with a probability of 75%?
