Chapter 5, Problem 12P
RunningWithTheDevil.com created a web site to market running shoes and other running apparel. Management would like a special pop-up offer to appear for female web-site visitors and a different special pop-up offer to appear for male web-site visitors. From a sample of past web-site visitors, RunningWithTheDevil’s management learns that 60% of the visitors are male and 40% are female.
- a. What is the
probability that a current visitor to the web site is female? - b. Suppose that 30% of RunningWithTheDevil’s female visitors previously visited LetsRun.com and 10% of male customers previously visited LetsRun.com. If the current visitor to RunningWithTheDevil’s web site previously visited LetsRun.com, what is the revised probability that the current visitor is female? Should the RunningWithTheDevil’s web site display the special offer that appeals to female visitors or the special offer that appeals to male visitors?

- Question 1 A tech company has acknowledged the importance of having records of all meetings conducted. The meetings are very fast paced and requires equipment that is able to capture the information in the shortest possible time. There are two options, using a typewriter or a word processor. Fifteen administrative assistants are selected and the amount of typing time in hours was recorded. The results are given below: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 typewriter 8.0 6.5 5.0 6.7 7.8 8.5 7.2 5.7 9.2 5.7 6.5 word processor 7.2 5.7 8.3 7.5 9.2 7.2 6.5 7.0 6.9 34 7.0 6.9 8.8 6.7 8.8 9.4 8.6 5.5 7.2 8.4 a. Test the hypothesis that the mean typing time in hours for typewriters is less than 7.0. Use the 1% level of significance. b.
