Question 1:We want to evaluate the impact on the monetary economy for a company of two types of strategy (competitive strategy, cooperative strategy) adopted by buyers.Competitive strategy: strategy characterized by firm behavior aimed at obtaining concessions from the buyer.Cooperative strategy: a strategy based on a problem-solving negotiating attitude, with a high level of trust and cooperation.A random sample of 17 buyers took part in a negotiation experiment in which 9 buyers adopted the competitive strategy, and the other 8 the cooperative strategy. The savings obtained for each group of buyers are presented in the pdf that i sent:
For this problem, we assume that the samples are random and come from two normal populations of unknown but equal variances.According to the theory, the average saving of buyers adopting a competitive strategy will be lower than that of buyers adopting a cooperative strategy.a) Specify the population identifications and the hypotheses H0 and H1…
You assume that the annual incomes for certain workers are normal with a mean of $28,500 and a standard deviation of $2,400.
What’s the chance that a randomly selected employee makes more than $30,000?What’s the chance that 36 randomly selected employees make more than $30,000, on average?
What’s the chance that a fair coin comes up heads more than 60 times when you toss it 100 times?
