Question
Coffee and doughnuts At a certain coffee shop, all the
customers buy a cup of coffee; some also buy a dough-
nut. The shop owner believes that the number of cups
nut. The shop owner believes that the number of cups
he sells each day is normally distributed with a mean of
320 cups and a standard deviation of 20 cups. He also
believes that the number of doughnuts he sells each day
320 cups and a standard deviation of 20 cups. He also
believes that the number of doughnuts he sells each day
is independent of the coffee sales and is normally distrib-
uted with a mean of 150 doughnuts and a standard devia-
tion of 12.
uted with a mean of 150 doughnuts and a standard devia-
tion of 12.
a) The shop is open every day but Sunday. Assuming
day-to-day sales are independent, what’s the probabil-
ity he’ll sell over 2000 cups of coffee in a week?
ity he’ll sell over 2000 cups of coffee in a week?
b) If he makes a profit of 50 cents on each cup of cof-
fee and 40 cents on each doughnut, can he reasonably
fee and 40 cents on each doughnut, can he reasonably
expect to have a day’s profit of over $300? Explain.
c) What’s the probability that on any given day he’ll
sell a doughnut to more than half of his coffee
customers?
c) What’s the probability that on any given day he’ll
sell a doughnut to more than half of his coffee
customers?

- Insurance Company A claims that its customers pay less for car insurance, on average, than customers of its competitor, Company B. You wonder if this is true, so you decide to compare the average monthly costs of similar insurance policies from the two companies. For a random sample of 7 people who buy insurance from Company A, the mean cost is $150 per month with a standard deviation of $16. For 12 randomly selected customers of Company B, you find that they pay a mean of $160 per month with a standard deviation of $14. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal to test Company A's claim at the 0.10 level of significance. Let customers of Company A be Population 1 and let customers of Company B be Population 2. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.arrow_forwardThe Aluminum Association reports that the average American uses 56.8 pounds of aluminum in a year.

You wonder if this is true, so you decide to compare the average monthly costs of similar insurance policies from the two companies. For a random sample of 13 people who buy insurance from Company A, the mean cost is $150 per month with a standard deviation of $19. For 9 randomly selected customers of Company B, you find that they pay a mean of $157 per month with a standard deviation of $16. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal to test Company A's claim at the 0.05 level of significance.

You wonder if this is true, so you decide to compare the average monthly costs of similar insurance policies from the two companies. For a random sample of 1313 people who buy insurance from Company A, the mean cost is $151$151 per month with a standard deviation of $16$16. For 99 randomly selected customers of Company B, you find that they pay a mean of $158$158 per month with a standard deviation of $19$19.

The restaurant decided to introduce an advertising campaign to Increase daily sales. In order to determine the effectiveness of the advertising campaign, a sample of 49 day's sales were taken. The sample showed average daily sales of $6,300. From past history, the restaurant knew that its population standard deviation is about $1,000. If the level of significance is 0.01, have sales increased as a result of the advertising campaign? Multiple Choice Fail to reject the null hypothesis. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is higher than $6,000 per day. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is lower than $6,000 per day. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that mean equal to $6,000 per day.arrow_forwardRecords from the Washington Department of Licensing show that 47 former SFCC business students have incorporated their own businesses in the last five years. Eight of these students are selected at random and contacted. Each is asked how many people are employed by their corporation. The responses are: 7, 12, 13, 17, 10, 5, 10, and 6 employees. What is your best estimate of the standard deviation of the number of employees for all 47 corporations?arrow_forward
