Question

The Retailers Association believes that the average time spent on each visit to its member store, by a shopper, is greater than 75 minutes. To test this belief, the association commissioned Market Research company to survey a random sample of 450 shoppers at one of the members’ stores. Based on the survey, the average time spent was 78 minutes. Assume that the population of shopping time is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 5 minutes. Can the Retailers Association conclude that the shopper spent greater than 75 minutes, on average, on each visit to its members’ stores? Conduct a test at the 1% level of significance. Critical value at 10% level: 1.645 Critical value at 5% level: 1.96 Critical value at 1% level: 2.58

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.
