Answer ff
"Save today by switching to SOAR!" is the slogan for SOAR, a cell phone service provider. Logan
wants to estimate how much money customers who switch to SOAR save on their monthly bill. He
surveys 75 people who have recently switched to SOAR and asks each one how much they are
saving in their monthly bill as a result of the switch. He finds the average savings of the sample to be
$19.03 and historical records indicate that o = $4.71
What is the standard error in estimating monthly phone bill savings?
