A grocery store has an average sales of $8000 per day. The store introduced several advertising campaigns in order to increase sales. To determine whether or not the advertising campaigns have been effective in increasing sales, a sample of 100 days of sales was selected. It was found that the average was $8200 per day. From past information, it is known that the standard deviation of the population is $1500. The value of the test statistic is a. .133. b. 1.33. c. .013. d. 13.33.
