1. Let x represent the dollar amount spent on supermarket impulse buying in a 10-minute (unplanned) shopping interval. Based on a certain article, the mean of the x distribution is about $24 and the estimated standard deviation is about $7.
Is it necessary to make any assumption about the x distribution? Explain your answer.
a. It is not necessary to make any assumption about the x distribution because μ is large.
b. It is necessary to assume that x has an approximately normal distribution.
c. It is necessary to assume that x has a large distribution.
d. It is not necessary to make any assumption about the x distribution because n is large.
2. What is the probability that x is between
$22 and $26? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
3. Let us assume that x has a distribution that is
approximately normal. What is the probability that x is
between $22 and $26? (Round your answer to four decimal
places.)
4. In part (b), we used x, the average amount spent, computed for 50 customers. In part (c), we used x, the amount spent by only one customer. The answers to parts (b) and (c) are very different. Why would this happen?
a. The mean is larger for the x distribution than it is for the x distribution.
b. The x distribution is approximately normal while the x distribution is not normal.
c. The standard deviation is smaller for the x distribution than it is for the x distribution.
d. The sample size is smaller for the x distribution than it is for the x distribution.
e. The standard deviation is larger for the x distribution than it is for the x distribution.
In this example, x is a much more predictable or reliable statistic than x. Consider that almost all marketing strategies and sales pitches are designed for the average customer and not the individual customer. How does the central limit theorem tell us that the average customer is much more predictable than the individual customer?
a. The central limit theorem tells us that the standard deviation of the sample mean is much smaller than the population standard deviation. Thus, the average customer is more predictable than the individual customer.
b. The central limit theorem tells us that small sample sizes have small standard deviations on average. Thus, the average customer is more predictable than the individual customer.
assuming n is large
option D) is correct
d. It is not necessary to make any assumption about the x distribution because n is large.
2)
Assuming n = 40
E(Xbar) = 24
sd(Xbar) = 7/sqrt(n) = 7/sqrt(40) 1.106797
P(22 < Xbar < 26)
= P ( −1.81<Z<1.81 )
=0.9298
3)
4)
option C) is correct
c. The standard deviation is smaller for the x distribution than it is for the x distribution.
5)
a. The central limit theorem tells us that the standard deviation of the sample mean is much smaller than the population standard deviation. Thus, the average customer is more predictable than the individual customer.
