book: Doane−Seward: Applied Statistics in Business and Economics, chapter 10:
\n" ); document.write( "Blockbuster is testing a new policy of waiving all late fees on DVD rentals using a sample of 10 randomly chosen customers.
\n" ); document.write( "(a) At α = .10, does the data show that the mean number of monthly rentals has increased?
\n" ); document.write( "Ho: u(d) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Ha: u(d) > 0
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "The differences: 4,5,4,0,1,-1,0.3.0.4
\n" ); document.write( "mean of the sample: u(d) bar = 20/10 = 2
\n" ); document.write( "stand Dev of the sample; 2.211
\n" ); document.write( "Test statistic: t(2) = 2/[2.211/sqrt(10)] = 2.86
\n" ); document.write( "p-value: P(t > 2.86 with df = 9) = 0.009
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "(b) Is the decision close?
\n" ); document.write( "No since alpha = 10% and p= 0.9%
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "(c) Are you convinced?
\n" ); document.write( "I'll leave that to you.
