The weekly sales (measured in cases, ie 24 packs) for a certain brand of soda is measured for two locations - end of aisle display and normal shelf location (in an aisle). Managers want to know if end of aisle display truly is advantageous in producing more sales.

### Analysis of Weekly Soda Sales Data

#### Overview

The weekly sales, measured in cases (24 packs), for a certain brand of soda were collected from two locations: normal shelf location (in an aisle) and end of aisle display. This study aims to determine if end of aisle display increases sales.

#### Data Summary

**Sales Data**:
- **Normal Shelf Location**: 22, 34, 52, 62, 30, 40, 44, 66, 84, 56
- **End of Aisle Display**: 52, 71, 76, 54, 67, 83, 66, 90, 90, 77, 84

**Statistical Summary**:

| Statistic           | Normal   | End of Aisle |
|---------------------|----------|--------------|
| Mean                | 50.3     | 72           |
| Standard Error      | 5.921805 | 3.966527     |
| Median              | 54       | 73.5         |
| Mode                | #N/A     | #N/A         |
| Standard Deviation  | 18.72639 | 12.54326     |
| Sample Variance     | 350.6778 | 157.3333     |
| Kurtosis            | -0.35731 | -0.74079     |
| Skewness            | 0.144669 | -0.35851     |
| Range               | 62       | 38           |
| Minimum             | 22       | 52           |
| Maximum             | 84       | 90           |
| Sum                 | 503      | 720          |
| Count               | 10       | 10           |

#### Questions

**a) Would you use a one-sided or two-sided test for this example? Why?**

A one-sided test would be appropriate if the goal is to determine if the end of aisle display increases sales compared to a normal shelf location.

**b) State the null and alternative hypothesis corresponding to your answer for (a).**

- **Null Hypothesis (H0):** There is no increase in sales for the end of aisle display compared to the normal shelf location. (Mean sales are equal or lower for end of aisle display)
- **Alternative Hypothesis (H1):** The end of aisle display increases sales
