The file bank.xls has data from a midsized local bank. The bank has recently begun offering online banking services to its clients and is curious about the level of interest in the new product. The two columns contain data on the number of online banking brochures distributed on a sample of weekdays and Saturdays. Management has claimed that about 330 people are taking brochures about the new service every day.
a. Use use Excel to calculate the sample mean and standard deviation for each column of data XL to calculate the sample mean and standard deviation for each column of data
b. Test the managements claim for weekdays using a=0.05
c. Test the management claim for Saturday’s using a=0.05
d. Use XL‘s t-test function to test if a difference exists in the number of brochures distributed on a weekday and Saturdays using a=0.05. Do these results make any sense given your answers to parts b and c?
