- In a recent year, the Better Business Bureau settled 73% of complaints they received. You have been hired by the Bureau to investigate complaints this year involving computer stores. You plan to select a random sample of complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the Bureau is able to settle. Assume the population proportion of complaints settled for the computer stores is 0.73, as mentioned above. Suppose your sample size is 113. DO NOT USE THE EXCEL FORMULA. CALCULATE BY HAND OR WITH A CALCULATOR. 1.

- Carmen and Rosanna are two employees in an electronics store. The store manager has put an emphasis on increasing the number of applications for the store credit card. The manager randomly selected 24 weeks for each employee and recorded the number of completed applications for each week, which is provided in the samples below. Each employee completed 21 applications in one of the weeks selected. Use Excel to calculate each employee's z-score for completing 21 applications. Round your answers to two decimal places.
