In order to make a survey of the buying habits,
two markets A and B are chosen at two different
parts of a city.
400 women shoppers are chosen at random in
market A. Their average daily expenditure on
food is found to be dollar 250 with a standard
deviation of Dollar 40. The figures are Dollar 220
and Rs. 55 respectively in the market B where
also 400 women shoppers are chosen at
random. Test at 1% level of significance whether
the average daily food expenditures of the two
populations of shoppers are equal?
In 2015, the average duration of long-distance telephone calls from a certain town was 3.9 minutes. A telephone company wants to perform a test to determine whether this average duration of long- distance calls has changed. Fifty calls, originating from the town, was randomly selected and the following summary minutes.
∑ ? = 205 ∑(? − ?̅)2 = 56.43
