Question 3: EatWell Inc., a large fast-food chain company of Canada, wants to test two versions of a new product before launching its full production. They select a random sample of individuals among their regular clients and ask them to participate in an experiment to rate the product according to an assessment grid worth 20 points. The 15 individuals who accepted to participate had to come to a specific company location on two occasions during a given week to test the two versions of the product. It was a randomized experiment in which the version assigned to participants during their first visit was selected at random and participants did not know which version they were rating. Scores data of each participant are included in the Minitab file EatWell_Scores.mtw and in the Excel file Assign2.xlsx under the EatWell_Scores tab.

a) Examine and comment on the distribution of the ratings for the two versions of the product and decide which statistical test is the most appropriate for this type of data. Justify your selection based on the assumptions and conditions required for the most appropriate test selected.  

b) Regardless of your answer in a) above, perform a relevant parametric test using a 10% significance level to determine if there is a difference between the two versions of the product. Make sure you show your Minitab or other software output along with an interpretation of the results (manual calculations are not required here).  

c) Now, perform a Wilcoxon signed rank test to verify if there is a significant difference at the 10% level between the two versions of the product based on these ratings. Show your manual calculations including the T+ and T- statistics and conclude based on the critical value approach.  

d) Use Minitab or other software to perform the test in c) above and comment on the computed Pvalue and your conclusion in c).  

e) Compare your results from the parametric and non-parametric tests above and state what the final conclusion regarding the two versions of the product should be.

here is the data from EatWell_Scores.mtw

A company that produces and markets continuing education programs on DVDs for the educational testing industry has traditionally mailed advertising to prospective customers .A market research study was undertaken to compare two approaches: mailing a sample DVD upon request that contain highlights of the full DVD and sending an email containing a link for a website from which sample material could be downloaded. Of those who responded to either the mailing or the e-mail, the results were as follows in terms of purchase of the complete DVD .

                                    Type of media used

             Purchased                mailing                  E-mail                     total

                   Yes                            26                             11                                 37

                   No                             227                          247                               474

                   Total                         253                          258                               511

a)     at the 0.5 level significance, is there evidence of a difference in the proportion of DVDs purchased in the proportion of DVDs   purchased on the basis of the media used ?

b)     on the basis of the results of (a) which type of media should the company use in the future ? explain the rationale for your decision

The company also wanted to determine which of three sales approaches should be used to generate sales among those who either requested the sample DVD by mail or downloaded the sample DVD but did not purchase the full DVD : 1) targeted e-mail , 2) A DVD that contain additional features or 3) a telephone call to prospective customers. The 474 respondents who did not initially purchase the full DVD were randomly assigned to one of the three sales approaches. The results in terms of purchases of the full program DVD, are as follows:

                                                                                 Sales approach

ACTION                     Targeted            More complete          Telephone calls     Total

                                     Email                       DVD

Purchase                          5                       17                                     18                       40

Do not purchase            153                   141                                   140                      434

Total                                158                    158                                   158 474

c)      at the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference in the proportion of DVDs purchased on the basis of the sales strategy used?

d)     On the basis of the results of (c) which sales approach do you think the company should use in the future . Explain the rationale for your decision.
