One of your distributors reports an average of 150 sales per day. You suspect that this average is not accurate, so you randomly select 35 days and determine the number of sales each day. The sample mean is 143 daily sales with a standard deviation of 15 sales. At α=0.10 is there enough evidence to doubt the distributor’s reported average? a. Identify the claim. Then state the null and alternative hypotheses. b. Identify the level of significance. c. Find the standardized test statistic z. d. Find the P-value. e. Decide whether to reject the null hypothesis. f. Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

A sample of 40 sales receipts from a grocery store has x̄ = $137 and σ = $30.2. Use these values to test whether or not the mean sales at the grocery store are different from $150. Set α = 0.01.

A group of randomly selected 50 sales representatives from a company this year had an average sales of $107.5 million this year. Assume the standard deviation of sales is stable at $20.5 million. Use your data to find a range of likely values for average sales for all representative in the entire company The average sales for the entire company last year was reported to be $100 million. According to your results from the previous problem, do you think the average sales have changed this year? Why or why not? If so, how has it changed? (Hint: Think about what your range of likely values is for average sales.)
