A chain of sport shops catering to beginning skiers, headquartered in Aspen, Colorado, plans to conduct a study of how much a beginning skier spends on his or her initial purchase of equipment and supplies. Based on these figures, it wants to explore the possibility of offering combinations, such as a pair of boots and a pair of skis, to induce customers to buy more. A sample of 44 cash register receipts revealed these initial purchases: $ 140 $ 83 $ 139 $ 161 $ 175 $ 83 $ 129 $ 149 $ 141 130 264 231 132 172 149 170 214 105 220 126 90 171 162 229 121 117 149 126 130 118 172 156 214 87 172 230 162 195 128 126 142 118 127 130 1. a)Find the smallest class interval.

Amie Jackson, a manager at Sigma travel services, makes every effort to ensure that customers attempting to make online reservations do not have to wait too long to complete the reservation process. The travel website is open for reservations 24 hours a day, and Amie regularly checks the website for the waiting time to maintain consistency in service. She uses the following independently drawn samples of wait time during two peak hours, morning 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and evening 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., for the analysis. Assume that wait times are normally distributed. Wait Time (in seconds) Morning hours 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. 97 101 115 107 129 98 96 132 118 104 123 128 95 127 112 Evening hours 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. 95 92 89 90 102 96 85 81 84 100 97 80 98 79 99 At the 10% significance level, which of the following is the correct conclusion? Do not reject H0. We conclude that the variance of wait time during morning peak hours differs from that during the evening peak hours. Reject H0. We…
