Chapter 9.2, Problem 7E
Carpet Salesperson Salaries. Carpetland salespersons average $8000 per week in sales. Steve Contois, the firm’s vice president, proposes a compensation plan with new selling incentives. Steve hopes that the results of a trial selling period will enable him to conclude that the compensation plan increases the average sales per salesperson.
- a. Develop the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
- b. What is the Type I error in this situation? What are the consequences of making this error?
- c. What is the Type II error in this situation? What are the consequences of making this error?

(a) Estimate the factor effects. Plot the effect estimates on a normal probability scale.
(b) Identify a tentative model for this process. Fit the model and test for curvature.
(c) Plot the residuals from the model in part (b) versus the predicted resistivity. Is there any indication on
this plot of model inadequacy?
(d) Construct a normal probability plot of the residuals. Is there any reason to doubt the validity of the
normality assumption?

The CLT provides an approximate sampling distribution for the arithmetic average Ỹ of a random sample Y₁, . . ., Yn f(y). The parameters of the approximate sampling distribution depend on the mean and variance of the underlying random variables (i.e., the population mean and variance). The approximation can be written to emphasize this, using the expec- tation and variance of one of the random variables in the sample instead of the parameters μ, 02: YNEY, · (1 (EY,, varyi n For the following population distributions f, write the approximate distribution of the sample mean.
