Foot Locker uses sales per square foot as a measure of store productivity. Last year, the mean annual sales per square foot was $410 with a standard deviation of $54.38. Suppose you take a random sample of 36 Foot Locker stores operating last year. There is a 3% probability that the sample mean annual sales per square foot is at most $______.

None of the answers is correct |

b. |
307.7656 |
|
c. |
512.2344 |

d. |
427.0391 |

e. |
392.9609 |
Given that,
mean =
= $410
standard deviation =
= $54.38
n = 36
= 54.38
=
/
n = 54.38 /
36=9.0633
Using standard normal table,
P(Z < z) = 3%
= P(Z < z) = 0.03
= P(Z <- 1.88 ) = 0.03
z = - 1.88 Using standard normal table,
Using z-score formula
= z *
+
= - 1.88*9.0633+410
= $392.9609
