4. Weekly sales of regular ground coffee at a supermarket have in the recent past varied according to a normal distribution with mean = 354 and a standard deviation of = 33 units. The store reduces the price by 5%. Sales in the next three weeks are 405, 378, and 411 units. Is this good evidence that average sales are now higher?
a. State the null and alternative hypothesis.
b. Find the sample mean and the value of a one-sample z test statistic. x bar = _____________ and the z statistic = ________________
c. Calculate the p-value. p = _______________ d. Do you think that there is convincing evidence that sales are higher? ___________ Explain:
Homework Answers
Below are the null and alternative Hypothesis,
Null Hypothesis, H0: μ = 354
Alternative Hypothesis, Ha: μ > 354
b)
sample mean = 398
Test statistic,
z = (xbar - mu)/(sigma/sqrt(n))
z = (398 - 354)/(33/sqrt(3))
z = 2.31
c)
P-value Approach
P-value = 0.0104
As P-value < 0.05, reject the null hypothesis.

Some grocery stores run big sales on selected items, but regular pricing is higher. Some have better every-day pricing but then run fewer sales. Amid COVID-19 pandemic, a consumer agency decided to test if the mean grocery prices are significantly different among the three popular grocery chains in Edmonton and Calgary. The weekly total for four consecutive weeks (rounded to the nearest dollar) based on the prices of 100 every-day use items for each of the stores is provided in...

Context: You own three Chick-Fil-A franchises. In your sales district, you know that the average weekly sales are $542,000. One of your stores (Clarkesville store) brought in an average of $530,000 each week in the last year. Assume that you conducted the most appropriate test and found the following: Z = 3.32 Lower Critical Value = -2.00 Upper Critical Value = 2.00 P-value = 0.0015 Level of significance = 0.05 ----------------------------------------------------------- 1a) Based on this information, which of the following...
