MNBA is a company that sells chem-lab supplies. In the past, customers had spent an average of $6,800 annually, but management believes that the number has decreased in the last year. In order to test this, one manager looks at a sample of 40 customers' spending last year. The results can be found in the file ASpending, Hypothesis Testing. The manager would like to test her hypothesis at an alpha level of 0.1. She also believes that the standard deviation has not changed, so she is using a population standard deviation value of 1450.

A manager for an insurance company believes that customers have the following preferences for life insurance products: 30% prefer Whole Life, 30% prefer Universal Life, and 40% prefer Life Annuities. The results of a survey of 330 customers were tabulated. Is it possible to refute the sales manager's claimed proportions of customers who prefer each product using the data?
| Product | Number |
|---|---|
| Whole | 109 |
| Universal | 96 |
| Annuities | 125 |
Step 1 of 10:
State the null and alternative hypothesis.
Answer
H0H0: Preferences for life insurance products are not as per the manager's belief.
HaHa: Preferences for life insurance products are as per the manager's belief.
H0H0: Preferences for life insurance products are as per the manager's belief.
HaHa: Preferences for life insurance products are not as per the manager's belief.
Step 2 of 10:
What does the null hypothesis indicate about the proportions of customers who prefer each insurance product?
Answer
The proportions of customers who prefer each insurance product are all thought to be equal.
The proportions of customers who prefer each insurance product are different for each category (and equal to the previously accepted values).
State the null and alternative hypothesis in terms of the expected proportions for each category.
H0H0: pWhole=pWhole=, pUniversal=pUniversal=, pAnnuities=pAnnuities=HaHa: There is some difference amongst the proportions.
Step 4 of 10:
Find the expected value for the number of customers who prefer Whole Life. Round your answer to two decimal places.
ind the expected value for the number of customers who prefer Universal Life. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Step 6 of 10:
Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places
Step 7 of 10:
Find the degrees of freedom associated with the test statistic for this problem.
Find the critical value of the test at the 0.05 level of significance. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance.
Fail to Reject Null Hypothesis Reject Null Hypothesis
Step 10 of 10:
State the conclusion of the hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance.
There is not enough evidence to refute the manager's claim about the proportions of customers who prefer each product.

Cantel Company produces cleaning compounds for both commercial and household customers. Some of these products are produced as part of a joint manufacturing process. For example, GR37, a coarse cleaning powder meant for commercial sale, costs $2.30 a pound to make and sells for $2.40 per pound. A portion of the annual production of GR37 is retained for further processing in a separate department where it is combined with several other ingredients to form SilPol, which is sold as a silver polish, at $6.00 per unit. The additional processing requires 1/4 pound of GR37 per unit; additional processing costs amount to $4.40 per unit of SilPol produced. Variable selling costs for SilPol average $0.40 per unit. If production of SilPol were discontinued, $4,800 of costs in the processing department would be avoided. Cantel has, at this point, unlimited demand for, but limited capacity to produce, product GR37.
Required
1. Calculate the minimum number of units of SilPol that would have to be sold in order to justify further processing of GR37.
2. Assume that the cost data reported for GR37 are obtained at a level of output equal to 6,900 pounds, which is the maximum that the company can produce at this time. What is the expected operating income (loss) under each of the following scenarios: (a) all available capacity is used to produce GR37, but no SilPol; (b) 6,000 units of SilPol are produced, with the balance of capacity devoted to the production and sale of GR37; (c) 8,000 units of SilPol are produced, with the balance of capacity devoted to the production and sale of GR37; and (d) 10,000 units of SilPol are produced, with the balance of capacity devoted to the production and sale of GR37.
