It estimates that 51% of customers never make a claim, 30% of customers require a small repair costing an average of $45, and 19% of customers request a full refund costing $180. What is the long-term average cost the retailer should expect to pay to its customers per claim?

A paper included analysis of data from a national sample of 1,000 Americans. One question on the survey is given below. "You owe $3,000 on your credit card. You pay a minimum payment of $30 each month. At an Annual Percentage Rate of 12% (or 1% per month), how many years would it take to eliminate your credit card debt if you made no additional charges?" Answer options for this question were: (a) less than 5 years; (b) between 5 and 10 years; (c) between 10 and 15 years; (d) never—you will continue to be in debt; (e) don't know; and (f) prefer not to answer. The paper also reported that 37.1% of those in the sample chose one of the wrong answers (a, b, or c) as their response to this question. Is it reasonable to conclude that more than one-third of adult Americans would select a wrong answer to this question? Use ? = 0.05.
