Toys is a retailer with 25 locations and is expanding each year. Toys leases retail space on long-term leases ranging from 10 to 15 years. Most of the leases have multiple renewal options. Under current rules, the arrangements are reported as operating leases. Brenda read that changes are coming to reporting for leases and wants to prepare for the changes that will be required.

A consumer researcher wanted to know if customers really are influenced to buy more from sales...

A consumer researcher wanted to know if customers really are influenced to buy more from sales clerks who smile. To test this, clerks at eight stores in a large Canadian clothing chain were given special instructions at the start of a week and then sales over the week were recorded. Four of the stores were randomly selected to have the clerks receive instructions to be especially courteous and to smile a lot. Clerks at four other stores were simply instructed to be especially courteous. Sales (in thousands of dollars) for the four stores in the smile condition were 36, 40, 36, and 44; sales for the four stores in the control condition were 40, 31, 27, and 30. Do these results suggest that customers might buy more if they encounter smiling sales clerks? (Use the .05 level.)

Below are questions you should be asking yourself in preparing for the test in class (not to be answered here):

Using the five steps of hypothesis testing, think about "why is this a test for independent means?", "what are the steps involved" and "what is my goal in this exercise? That is, which distribution am I trying to construct so I can get the comparison distribution?"

Question to be answered here:

What is the pooled estimate population variance of the two populations from which your samples come from?

Questions to answer regarding the question above :

1) In the question above, what is the variance of the distribution of means corresponding to the condition in which the clerks smile? (It may help you to draw the steps using the curves to figure out which variance goes with which distribution). Note that the variance is the same for both distribution of means due to the fact that N is the same for both.

2) In the question above, what is SDifference?

3) In the question above, what is tCutoff? (Answer to the three decimal places on this one)
