- It is often useful for retailers to determine why their potential customers chose to visit their store. Possible reasons include advertising, advice from a friend, or previous experience. To determine the effect of full-page advertisements in the local newspaper, the owner of an electronic-equipment store asked randomly selected people who visited the store whether they had seen the ad. He also determined whether the customers had bought anything, and if so, how much they spent. Among the respondents who saw the ad, 49 made an average purchase of $97.38 with a variance of $622. Among the respondents who did not see the ad, 21 made an average purchase of $92.01 with a variance of $283.3. Can the owner conclude that customers who see the ad spend more than those who do not see the ad (among those who make a purchase) at 5% significance level?

Before they start selling the mix they want to compare how well people like their brownies to brownies made from a popular national brand mix. In order to see if there was any difference in consumer opinion, Wegman’s asked 124 shoppers to participate in a taste test. Each was given a brownie to try. Subjects were not told which kind of brownie they got—that was determined randomly. 58% of the 62 shoppers who tasted a Wegman’s brownie said liked it well enough to buy the mix, compared to 66% of the others who said they would be willing to buy the national brand.
