An electronics retailer believes that, at most, 40% of their cell phone inventory was sold during November. The retailer surveyed 80 dealers and found that 38% of the inventory was sold. Since 38% is less than 40%, is this difference of 2 percentage points sampling error or a significant difference? Test at the 0.05 level. The computed z= -0.37. Select one: a.We cannot determine if the 2% is a significant difference b.None of the other answers apply. c. The 2% is a significant difference d. There is not enough information to reach a conclusion.

In a recent year, the Better Business Bureau settled 73% of complaints they received. You have been hired by the Bureau to investigate complaints this year involving computer stores. You plan to select a random sample of complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the Bureau is able to settle. Assume the population proportion of complaints settled for the computer stores is 0.73, as mentioned above. Suppose your sample size is 113. DO NOT USE THE EXCEL FORMULA. CALCULATE BY HAND OR WITH A CALCULATOR. 1. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 4 percent of the population proportion?
