Question

In order to conduct the study, 12 chain stores were randomly selected and
divided into three groups of four stores. Strategy 1 was used in four stores,
strategy 2 in four others, and strategy 3 in the remaining four stores. The
allocation of strategy to stores was made randomly. The amount of sales (in
RM 000’s) during a month at each of the twelve stores were recorded. It is
known that the monthly sales in all stores are approximately normally
distributed.

Obtain 95% confidence interval of difference between the mean sales
for the month in stores with display type II and display type III.

Strategy III
(prizes for
purchases above
certain amount)
Strategy I
(Voucher)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
