It was decided to group the salesm
into three categories: (i) Those
whose sales were less than dollar
68,000, (ii) those whose sales were
more than Dollar 68,000, but less t
han dollar 86,000, and (iii) those w
hose sales exceeded Dollar 86,000.
The salesmen in the first category
were to be given further training an
d those in the third category to be
given efficiency bonus of 2% of thei
r sales. Find how many will be train
and how much bonus will be pai
d ? State the assumptions, if any.
Textbook authors must be careful that the reading level of their book is appropriate for the target audience. Some methods of assessing reading level require estimating the average word length. We've randomly chosen 20 words from a randomly selected page in Intro Stats and counted the number of letters in each word:
5, 5, 2, 11, 3, 5, 6, 8, 5, 4, 7, 2, 9, 4, 8, 10, 4, 7, 6, 9
Suppose that our editor was hoping that the book would have a mean word length of 6.8 letters. Does this sample indicate that the authors failed to meet this goal? With a significance level of 0.05, test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. (i.e state the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the test statistic, conclude and interpret it).
