Dr. Loras Tyrell was curious to see if his students actually saved money by purchasing books from sources other than the college bookstore. He administered a survey to all his students asking how they obtained their book (Bookstore, Rented, ebook, or on the web – WebBooks) and how much they paid for the book. He obtained the information below.
If the values are normally distributed, we know that of the students who purchased the eBook, about 95.4% of those students paid approximately $----- to ----?
The New York Times reported that Apple has unveiled a new iPad marketed specifically to school districts for use by students (The New York Times website).
The 9.7-inch iPads will have faster processors and a cheaper price point in an effort to take market share away from Google Chromebooks in public school
districts. Suppose that the following data represent the percentages of students currently using Apple iPads for a sample of 18 U.S. public school districts.
