The Rocky Mountain district sales manager of Rath Publishing Inc., a college textbook publishing company, claims that the sales representatives make an average of 42 sales calls per week on professors. Several reps say that this estimate is too low. To investigate, a random sample of 40 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 44. The standard deviation of the sample is 1.9 calls. Using the .01 significance level, can we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 42

Yes, we can conclude that the number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a college textbook publishing company, claims that the sales representatives make an average of 42 sales calls per week on professors. To investigate, a random sample of 40 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 44. The standard deviation of the sample is 1.9 calls.

We have to conduct a hypothesis test to conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 42 or not.

Let = mean number of calls per salesperson per week

SO, Null Hypothesis, : 42   {means that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is less than or equal to 42}

Alternate Hypothesis, : > 42   {means that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 42}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

             T.S. =  ~  

where, = sample mean number of calls made last week = 44

             s = sample standard deviation = 1.9 calls

             n = sample size = 40

So, test statistics  =    ~

                              = 6.657

So, at 0.01 level of significance, the t table gives critical value of 2.426 for one-tailed test. Since our test statistics is way more than the critical value of t so we have sufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region to the right of critical value of t.

Therefore, we conclude that the number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 42.

the system of inequity is

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

the related equation of solid line is .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

the related equation of dashed line is

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be . the required inequality is

similarly, check the second related equation.

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is
