The CVS Pharmacy located on US 17 in Murrells Inlet has been one of the busiest pharmaceutical retail stores in South Carolina for many years. To try and capture more business in the area, CVS top management opened another store about 6 miles west on SC 707. After a few months, CVS management decided to compare the business volume at the two stores. One way to measure business volume is to count the number of cars in the store parking lots on random days and times. The results of the survey from the last 3 months of the year are reported below. To explain, the first observation was on October 2 at 20:52 military time (8:52 p.m.). At that time there were four cars in the US 17 lot and nine cars in the SC 707 lot. At the 0.05 significance level, is it reasonable to conclude that, based on vehicle counts, the US 17 store has more business volume than the SC 707 store?

Note that each scale (nominal scale, ordinal scale, interval scale, and ratio scale) will be used exactly once. The values of data measured on this scale can be rank ordered. In addition, the differences between two adjacent ranks are equal. The values of data measured on this scale can be a number or a name, but they can be rank ordered. The values of data measured on this scale can be rank ordered and have meaningful differences between scale points. For this scale, there is also an absolute zero point. Data on this scale are measured by determining the category to which they belong.arrow_forwardThe U.S. Census Bureau collects data on household size and publishes the information in Current Population Reports.

- High in the Rocky Mountains, a biology research team has drained a lake to get rid of all fish. After the lake was refilled, they stocked it with an endangered species of Greenback trout. Of the 2000 Greenback trout put into the lake 700 were tagged for later study. An electroshock method is used on individual fish to get a study sample. However, this method is hard on the fish. The research team wants to know the smallest number of fish that must be electroshocked to be at least 70% sure of getting a sample of two or more tagged trout. Please provide the answer.
