Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 14E
Dave Christi runs a car wash chain with outlets scattered throughout Chicago. He is concerned that some local managers are giving away free washes to their friends. He decides to collect data on the number of “voided” sales receipts. Of course, some of them are legitimate voids. Would the following data indicate a reasonable number of voids at his facilities: 3, 8, 3, 4, 6, 5, 0, 1, 2, 4? Construct a control chart for this process and comment on whether the process is “in control.”

You're a data analyst for an insurance company. You want to make sure that your employer is not over-paying for car repairs. To investigate this, you bring 38 different cars to two different garages, Bubba's Hubcap Heaven and Repair, and Merle's Motor Shop. Some of the cars need lots of repairs. Some of the cars need very few. By taking each car to both shops, we can directly compare the two sets of prices.

Your task is to use Excel to test the research hypothesis that prices are different in the two shops; the null hypothesis is that prices are…
