The marching band at a local high school is selling candy bars. The profits will go toward the purchase of new marching band uniforms. They are interested in knowing what price they should charge to obtain the maximum profit. The candy bars are donated by a local retailer so they know that if they charge $0 they will make $0 profit. They also collect data from other marching bands who have sold candy bars in the past. The data they collected is shown in the table below.

What factors might influence how much is to be made from the candy sale? Give at least two.
What happens to the profit as the price of each candy bar increases Explain possible reasons for your observations.
How do you suppose the other bands determined the price at which to sell each candy bar?
Do any data values seem unusual? Yes or No (circle one) Why?

A company that builds apartment buildings in Athens considers two appraisers, A and B. who give an estimate of the sale price of their apartments. The sales department of the company has observed that in most cases appraiser A gives smaller value estimates of their apartments. The company would like to know if this is true for estimated values of apartments of other companies. Let X₁ be the appraisal value of an apartment of other companies by appraiser A. Let X2 be the appraisal value of an apartment of other companies by appraiser B. Also, let D=X₂-X₁. The company selected a random sample of apartments of other companies. Let be the appraisal value of each apartment in the sample by appraiser A. Let *2 be the appraisal value of each apartment in the sample by appraiser B.
