Explanation of Solution

Hypothesis test for mean checking account balance:

The null and alternative hypotheses are stated below:

H0:μ=1,600

That is, the mean account balance is $1,600.

H1:μ<1,600

That is, the mean account balance is less than $1,600.

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the test statistic using Excel MegaStat is as follows:

  • In EXCEL, Select Add-Ins > Mega Stat > Hypothesis Tests.
  • Choose Mean Vs Hypothesized Value.
  • Choose Data Input.
  • Enter A1:A61 Under Input Range.
  • Enter 1,600 Under Hypothesized mean.
  • Check t-test.
  • Choose less than in alternative.
  • Click OK.

Output obtained using Excel MegaStat is as follows:

EBK STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES IN BUSINESS, Chapter 12, Problem 1C , additional homework tip  1

From the output, the t-test statistic value is –1.30 and the p-value is 0.0994.

Decision Rule:

If the p-value is less than the level of significance, reject the null hypothesis. Otherwise, fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Consider that the level of significance is 0.05.

Here, the p-value is 0.0994. Since the p-value is greater than the level of significance, by the rejection rule, fail to reject the null hypothesis at the 0.05 significance level.

Thus, the sample data do not indicate that the mean account balance has declined from $1,600.

Hypothesis test for mean number of transaction10 per customer per month:

The null and alternative hypotheses are stated below:

H0:μ10

The mean number of transaction per customer is less than or equal to 10 per month.

H1:μ>10

The mean number of transaction per customer is more than 10 per month.

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the test statistic using Excel MegaStat is as follows:

  • In EXCEL, Select Add-Ins > Mega Stat > Hypothesis Tests.
  • Choose Mean Vs Hypothesized Value.
  • Choose Data Input.
  • Enter A1:A61 Under Input Range.
  • Enter 10 Under Hypothesized mean.
  • Check t-test.
  • Choose greater than in alternative.
  • Click OK.

Output obtained using Excel MegaStat is as follows:

EBK STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES IN BUSINESS, Chapter 12, Problem 1C , additional homework tip  2

From the above output, the t-test statistic value is 0.54 and the p-value is 0.2953.

Conclusion:

Since the p-value is greater than the level of significance, by the rejection rule, fail to reject the null at the 0.05 significance level. Therefore, there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean number of transactions per customer is more than 10 per month.

Hypothesis test for mean number of transaction 9 per customer per month:

The null and alternative hypotheses are stated below:

H0:μ9

The mean number of transactions per customer is less than or equal to 9 per month.

H1:μ>9

The mean number of transaction per customer is more than 9 per month.

Follow the same procedure mentioned above to obtain the test statistic.

EBK STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES IN BUSINESS, Chapter 12, Problem 1C , additional homework tip  3

From the above output, the test statistic value is 2.34 and the p-value is 0.0112.

Conclusion:

Here, the p-value is less than the significance level 0.05. Therefore, the advertising agency can be concluded that the mean number of transactions per customer is more than 9 per month.

Hypothesis test for mean checking account balance among the four branches:

The null and alternative hypotheses are given below:

Null hypothesis:

The mean checking account balance among the four branches is equal.

Alternative hypothesis:

The mean checking account balance among the four branches is different.

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the test statistic using Excel MegaStat is as follows:

  • In EXCEL, Select Add-Ins > Mega Stat > Analysis of Variance.
  • Choose One-Factor ANOVA.
  • In Input Range, enter the column of.
  • In Post-Hoc Analysis, Choose When p < 0.05.
  • Click OK.

Output obtained using Excel MegaStat is as follows:

EBK STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES IN BUSINESS, Chapter 12, Problem 1C , additional homework tip  4

From the above output, the F-test statistic is 3.82 and the p-value is 0.0147.

Conclusion:

The p-value is less than the significance level 0.05. By the rejection rule, reject the null hypothesis at the 0.05 significance level. Therefore, there is a difference in the mean checking account balances among the four branches.

Post hoc test reveals that the differences occur between the pair of branches. The p-values for branches1–2, branches 2–3, and branches 2–4 are less than the significance level 0.05.

Thus, the branches 1–2, branches 2–3, and branches 2–4 are significantly different in the mean account balance.

Test of hypothesis for ATM usage among the branches:

The null and alternative hypotheses are stated below:

Null hypothesis: There is no difference in ATM use among the branches.

Alternative hypothesis: There is a difference in ATM use among the branches.

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the test statistic using Excel MegaStat is as follows:

  • In EXCEL, Select Add-Ins > Mega Stat > Analysis of Variance.
  • Choose One-Factor ANOVA.
  • In Input Range, enter the column of.
  • In Post-Hoc Analysis, Choose When p < 0.05.
  • Click OK.

Output obtained using Excel MegaStat is as follows:

EBK STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES IN BUSINESS, Chapter 12, Problem 1C , additional homework tip  5

From the above output, the F-test statistic is 0.57 and the p-value is 0.6391.

Conclusion:

Here, the p-value is greater than the significance level. By the rejection rule, one is failed to reject the null at the 0.05 significance level. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is no difference in ATM use among the four branches.

Hypothesis test for the customers who have debit cards:

The null and alternative hypotheses are stated below:

Null hypothesis: There is no difference in ATM use between customers who have debit cards and who do not have.

Alternative hypothesis: There is a difference in ATM use customers who have debit cards and who do not have.

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the test statistic using Excel MegaStat is as follows:

  • In EXCEL, Select Add-Ins > Mega Stat > Hypothesis Tests.
  • Choose Compare Two Independent Groups.
  • Choose Data Input.
  • In Group 1, enter the column of without debit cards.
  • In Group 2, enter the column of debit cards.
  • Enter 0 Under Hypothesized difference.
  • Check t-test (pooled variance).
  • Choose not equal in alternative.
  • Click OK.

Output obtained is represented as follows:

EBK STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES IN BUSINESS, Chapter 12, Problem 1C , additional homework tip  6

From the above output, the t-test statistic is 0.11 and the p-value is 0.9142.

Conclusion:

Here, the p-value is greater than the significance level. By the rejection rule, one is failed to reject the null at the 0.05 significance level. Therefore, there is no difference in ATM use between the customers who have debit cards and who do not have.

Hypothesis test for the customers who pay interest verses those who do not:

The null and alternative hypotheses are stated below:

Null hypothesis: There is no difference in ATM use between customers who pay interest and who do not.

Alternative hypothesis: There is a difference in ATM use customers who pay interest and who do not.

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the test statistic using Excel MegaStat is as follows:

  • In EXCEL, Select Add-Ins > Mega Stat > Hypothesis Tests.
  • Choose Compare Two Independent Groups.
  • Choose Data Input.
  • In Group 1, enter the column of Pay interest.
  • In Group 2, enter the column of don’t pay interest.
  • Enter 0 Under Hypothesized difference.
  • Check t-test (pooled variance).
  • Choose not equal in alternative.
  • Click OK.

Output obtained is represented as follows:

EBK STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES IN BUSINESS, Chapter 12, Problem 1C , additional homework tip  7

From the above output, the t-test statistic is 0.76 and the p-value is 0.4507.

Conclusion:

Here, the p-value is greater than the significance level. By the rejection rule, one is failed to reject the null at the 0.05 significance level. Therefore, there is no difference in ATM use between the customers who pay interest and who do not pay.
