A random sample of 12 supermarkets from Region 1 had mean sales of 84 with a standard deviation of 6.6. A random sample of 17 supermarkets from Region 2 had a mean sales of 78.3 with a standard deviation of 8.5. Does the test marketing reveal a difference in potential mean sales per market in Region 2? Let μ1 be the mean sales per market in Region 1 and μ2 be the mean sales per market in Region 2. Use a significance level of α=0.02 for the test. Assume that the population variances are not equal and that the two populations are norm

We conclude that there is no difference in potential mean sales per market in Region 1 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 12 supermarkets from Region 1 had mean sales of 84 with a standard deviation of 6.6.

A random sample of 17 supermarkets from Region 2 had a mean sales of 78.3 with a standard deviation of 8.5.

Let = mean sales per market in Region 1.

 = mean sales per market in Region 2.

So, Null Hypothesis, : = 0      {means that there is no difference in potential mean sales per market in Region 1 and 2}

Alternate Hypothesis, : > 0      {means that there is a difference in potential mean sales per market in Region 1 and 2}

The test statistics that will be used here is Two-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviations;

                            T.S.  =     ~  

where, = sample mean sales in Region 1 = 84

= sample mean sales in Region 2 = 78.3

 = sample standard deviation of sales in Region 1 = 6.6

 = sample standard deviation of sales in Region 2 = 8.5

= sample of supermarkets from Region 1 = 12

= sample of supermarkets from Region 2 = 17

Also,  = = 7.782

So, the test statistics =    ~  

                                   =  1.943  

The value of t-test statistics is 1.943.

Now, at a 0.02 level of significance, the t table  gives a critical value of -2.472 and 2.473 at 27 degrees of freedom for the two-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that there is no difference in potential mean sales per market in Region 1 and 2.

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x

other answer is correct. i had used the radius of the radius somehow. a website:
