A salesman for a new manufacturer of cellular phones claims not only that they cost the retailer less but also that the percentage of defective cellular phones found among his products, ( p1 ), will be no higher than the percentage of defectives found in a competitor's line, ( p2 ). To test this statement, the retailer took a random sample of 185 of the salesman's cellular phones and 150 of the competitor's cellular phones. The retailer found that 22 of the salesman's cellular phones and 11 of the competitor's cellular phones were defective. Does the retailer have enough evidence to reject the salesman's claim? Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test.
Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.

The manager of a men’s clothing catalog measured the market’s response to a $6 decrease in the usual price of his company’s oxford shirts by conducting a sales experiment. An A-B split was used to divide the company’s 120,000-customer mailing list into two groups. Customers in the control group were sent catalogs listing oxford shirts at their usual price of $40. Customers in the test group were sent catalogs listing the price of oxford shirts at $32.80. During the period of the test, customers in the control group purchased 700 oxford shirts, and customers in the test group purchased 889 oxford shirts.

To increase the customer count, the chain is considering cutting prices for coffee beverages. The question to be determined is how much to cut prices to increase the daily customer count without reducing the gross margin on coffee sales too much. You decide to carry out an experiment in a sample of 24 stores where customer counts have been running almost exactly at the national average of 900. In 6 of the stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.59, in 6 stores the price of a small coffee will now be $0.69, in 6 stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.79, and in 6 stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.89.

- Is it possible for an econometric study to have internal validity but notexternal validity?arrow_forwardVida Dampo is the purchasing clerk for Adanfopa Company. Adanfopa sells car filters. One of the most popular filters is the BMW, which has an annual demand of 4,000 units. The cost of each filter is $90, and the inventory carrying cost is estimated to be 10% of the cost of each filter. Vida has made a study of the costs involved in placing an order for any of the filters that Adanfopa Company stocks, and she has concluded that the average ordering cost is $25 per order. Furthermore, it takes about two weeks for an order to arrive from the supplier, and during this time the demand per week for Adanfopa Company is approximately 80.i. What is the EOQ?ii.

In order to assess the damages for the various units, the owners' association sent out a letter to owners and asked if people were willing to make their units available for destructive testing. Destructive testing was conducted in some of these units as a result of the responses. Based on the tests, the owners' association inferred the damage over the entire condo complex. Do you think that the inference is valid in this case? a). No, the inference is not valid. It is an example of sample selection bias because owners whose units were relatively more damaged were more likely to make theor units available for destructive testing. b). No, the inference is not valid because not all units were tested. c). Yes, the inference is valid. The study will correctly determine the incidence of damages in the concominium…arrow_forward
