the comic book store owner is curious in how well radio and newspaper advertisements work. A sample of 22 counties with almost equal populations was gathered during the month. For each of the counties, the owner has set aside a particular sum for radio and newspaper advertising. Additionally, the owner was able to access comic book sales information for the stores he controlled in each municipality and classified it as Low or High.

- In 2018, a consumer goods giant had more than 20 brands with more than $1 billion in annual sales. How does the company create so many successful consumer products? They effectively invests in research and development to understand what consumers want. One method used to determine consumer preferences is called conjoint analysis. Conjoint analysis allows a company to ascertain the utility that a respondent in the conjoint study places on a design of a given product. The higher the utility, the more valuable a respondent finds the design. Suppose we have conducted a conjoint study and have the following estimated utilities (higher is preferred) for each of three different designs for a new whitening toothpaste.

- Explain how a within-subjects design avoids the problems created by individual differences and how a between-subjects design avoids the problems created by order effects.arrow_forwardA businessman wanted to compare the level of satisfaction with service for his company (3 options high, average, poor) with the four regions of his company (4-southeast, northeast, northwest, and southwest). He randomly selected 1000 customers from each region and asked the customers about the level of service his company provided. What would be the degrees of freedom for the appropriate test? You must give the exact value. (Don't worry if Canvas adds extra zeros after the decimal.)arrow_forwardTo determine the amount of sugar in a typical serving of breakfast cereal, a student randomly selected 60 boxes of different types of cereal from the shelves of a large grocery store. The student noticed that the side panels of some of the cereal boxes showed sugar content based on one-cup servings, while others showed sugar content based on three- quarter-cup servings. Many of the cereal boxes with side panels that showed three-quarter-cup servings were ones that appealed to young children, and the student wondered whether there might be some difference in the sugar content of the cereals that showed different-size servings on their side panels. To investigate the question, the data were separated into two groups. One group consisted of 29 cereals that showed one-cup serving sizes; the other group consisted of 31 cereals that showed three-quarter cup serving sizes. The boxplots shown below display sugar content (in grams) per serving of the cereals for each of the two serving sizes.…arrow_forward

- Elementary and high school teachers were surveyed and were asked if they felt rewarded and satisfied with their jobs. Of the 350 elementary school teachers, 142 said they were satisfied with their jobs. Of the 243 high school teachers, 119 said they were satisfied with their jobs. Because of the number of students in elementary classrooms, it is believed that the proportion of elementary school teachers satisfied with their jobs is less than the proportion of high school teachers who are satisfied with their jobs. Let population 1=proportion of elementary school teachers satisfied with their jobs population 2=proportion of high school teachers satisfied with their jobs 1. What is the alternative hypothesis? 2.

Customers using their own cups get a 5% discount, which is displayed on the receipt. The owner randomly selects 50 receipts from all coffee purchases and 50 receipts from all espresso purchases. For coffee purchases, 24 receipts showed that the customer used their own cup. For espresso purchases, 18 receipts showed that the customer used their own cup. Assuming the conditions for inference have been met, what is the 99% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of customers who use their own cups? Find the z-table here.
