At the time she was hired as a server at the Grumney Family Restaurant, Beth Brigden was told, “You can average $71 a day in tips.” Assume the population of daily tips is normally distributed with a standard deviation of $4.48. Over the first 33 days she was employed at the restaurant, the mean daily amount of her tips was $73.33. At the 0.05 significance level, can Ms. Brigden conclude that her daily tips average more than $71? |

The Rocky Mountain district sales manager of Rath Publishing Inc., a college textbook publishing company, claims that the sales representatives make an average of 37 sales calls per week on professors. Several reps say that this estimate is too low. To investigate, a random sample of 43 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 38. The standard deviation of the sample is 2.6 calls. Using the 0.010 significance level, can we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 37? |

A United Nations report shows the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $26,450 per year. A FLOC (Farm Labor Organizing Committee) evaluation of 23 Mexican family units reveals a mean to be $37,190 with a sample standard deviation of $10,700. Does this information disagree with the United Nations report? Apply the 0.01 significance level. |
