PROBLEM:
Baltimore Electronics, a Maryland corporation with offices in Towson, Maryland, ordered by mail 5,000 microprocessors from American Micro, a California company. Baltimore Electronics’ purchase order provided that any dispute would be resolved by arbitration conducted by the
American Arbitration Association in Baltimore, Maryland. American Micro executed and delivered by facsimile transmission to Baltimore Electronics its form which confirmed receipt of Baltimore Electronics’ order and contained the following provision: “The seller’s acceptance of
any purchase order is subject to the terms and conditions herein.” The American Micro form also stated: “This transaction shall be governed by the law of the State of California. Any
disputes shall be resolved by a judicial action in the State of California.” Ten days after faxing the confirmation form American Micro shipped the parts, which were received and accepted by
Baltimore Electronics. A dispute has now arisen concerning the workmanship in the manufacture of the microprocessors. The microprocessors are defective. The defect constitutes a breach of
warranty. Baltimore Electronics made a timely demand for arbitration in Baltimore, Maryland.

Please answer the following questions based solely on the facts presented above.

This T-Test project is to research if there is a cost difference for paperback books between
two major online book sellers, amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. I chose 50 titles and
compared the prices between the two online dealers. Based off personal shopping experience and
initial data colleting I expect Amazon.com to have lower prices for paperback books than
Barnesandnoble.com. Population
I selected 50 paperback book titles that both Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com sell
on their websites. Variables and Data Collection I collected the data for all 50 paperback titles from www.Amazon.com and
www.barnesandnoble.com. I started by finding titles by looking at the New York Times best
sellers list that was listed on Amazon.com, then went to popular titles, and then whet to award
winning titles to get a total of 50 paperback book titles. While doing this I also recorded the price
for the title as well. After I made the first list based off of Amazon.com I then went to
Barnesandnoble.com, and recorded the prices they listed. As I was doing the price collecting I
realized that Barnesandnoble.com didn’t have a few of the titles in paperback so to keep the
integrity of the data I had to find alternate titles. MODULE 9 – PROJECT: T-TEST PROJECT SUBMITTAL 3 Statistical Test and Hypothesis Statement
I will be using StatCrunch to perform a two sample T-Test to analyze the data I collected.
The null hypothesis is that Amazon.com = Barnesandnoble.com and the alternate hypothesis is
that Amazon.com < Barnesandnoble.com. (H0: µ1 = µ2 , HA: µ1 < µ2)Results Descriptive statistics
I believe the conditions for a confidence interval and hypothesis test are met because the
sample sizes are evenly distributed.

Using the 95% confidence interval, the lower limit is -1.443 and the upper limit of
-0.132 with a standard error or 0.330 and a sample difference of -0788. The hypothesis results
resulted in a test statistic of -2.3880. The degree of freedom is 90.743 and the p-value is 0.0095.
Conclusion:
Based on the researched data, the p value is 0.0095, is significantly less than 0.05.
This tells me that it supports the alternate hypothesis and the null hypothesis can be rejected. The
95% confidence, the mean between Amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com is between (-1.443,
-0.132). This interval concludes that my alternate hypothesis that Amazon.com has lower
paperback book prices than barnesandnoble.com is true.
Discussion:
After going over the results of both tests, based off the p value and other information
produced from StatCrunch this supports that the alternate hypothesis that Amazon.com has lower
paperback book prices than barnesandnoble.com is true. MODULE 9 – PROJECT: T-TEST PROJECT SUBMITTAL 5 Appendix A

See example report for formatting Excel file to be completed in addition to report.
The Sky Hospital Consortium consists of 40 hospitals in various parts of the US. After being discharged,
patients are given a survey to determine if they are satisfied with the overall service. In most cases
patients are satisfied. However, some are dissatisfied. In addition, out of those who responded as being
dissatisfied, some filed a formal complaint. In the Excel file, Hospitals, linked at the bottom of the
page, are the results for the patients during a specific year. The Sky Hospital Consortium is divided into
the West, Central, and East Regions.
The Sky Hospital Consortium wants to evaluate the performance of the hospitals. The Consortium wants
to know which hospitals have the fewest complaints. You are to assist in the data analysis by using your
knowledge of probability and conditional probability to help with the ranking of the hospitals, as well as
each Region.
Managerial Report
Prepare a report (see below) with your ranking of the hospitals based on the probabilities and conditional
probabilities, as well as the analysis of each region. Include the following seven (7) items in table format
to support your ranking. Be sure to use five (5) decimal places for your probabilities in the table, as some
of them might be quite small.
1. The probability of a patient responding “Dissatisfied” in each of the three different regions.
2. The probability of a patient filing a formal complaint in each of the three different regions.
3. The probability of a patient filing a formal complaint given a patient response of “Dissatisfied” in
each of the three different regions.
4. The probability of a patient responding “Dissatisfied” for each hospital.
5. The probability of a patient filing a formal complaint for each hospital.
6. The probability of a patient filing a formal complaint given a patient response of “Dissatisfied”
for each hospital.
7. Rank the hospitals within each region for each of the probabilities in 4 – 6. In other words, only
rank the hospitals in the West region against the other hospitals in the West region. Perform the
same analysis for the other two regions. Then, within each region, find the sum of the ranks and
get an overall ranking for each hospital. Evaluate and discuss the meaning of your results. Use
tables, charts, graphs, or visual dashboards to support your findings.

MTH410 Guide to Writing with Statistics
CSU-Global Campus
October, 2014 1 GUIDE TO WRITING WITH STATISTICS 2 Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to provide some general guidance in the writing of papers
using statistics and associated tests. The paper provides some general tips for writing and the use
of statistics. An example prompt is included, followed by a sample paper.
General Tips for Writing a Math Paper: Organization:
o Turn your prompt into headings for paper sections. This will help you to make
sure you include all of the required information and analysis. It also helps the
reader identify the material.
o Your paper needs: A separate title page using APA style requirements (running header, page
numbers, course, instructor, your name, date, etc.). An introduction (often a summary or abstract of the problem). A body of the paper that answers the questions posed in the problem and
includes calculations and graphs associated with this problem. This is
where you can turn your prompt into headings. All references need to be
properly cited. A conclusion paragraph that addresses your findings and what you have
determined from the data and your analysis. A separate sheet for references.
o There are templates that use APA style that you can insert your material into. If
you really struggle with formatting, this may be an option for your first paper or
two. If you use a template, remember to double-check it to remove any extra
instructions or pages or other elements that weren’t used.
In general, numbers less than 10 are to be written in word form. However, if you have
numbers in this range that carry decimals, write them in numeral form.
Never use or interpret a statistic or test that you don’t fully understand.
Target your audience and present as much information as necessary to allow the reader to
make an independent interpretation.
Make use of graphs and tables to display information in an easily understood manner.
Format them the same throughout, and make sure you don’t manipulate axes.
If you are referring to a statistic that is less commonly used, explain how you calculated
it. (It is not necessary to explain mean, but it may be necessary to explain how you set up
an ANOVA test.)
Be clear about your sample and its corresponding population.
Be direct in writing descriptive statistics (The mean in Group A is 22.9 units.).
Translate the meaning of the statistic for the reader. Write plainly and then back it up with
statistical evidence. For example: Men and women scored equally well on this study (t =
0.25, p < 0.01). GUIDE TO WRITING WITH STATISTICS For additional resources see the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements or

Critical Thinking: Heavenly Chocolates
Website transactions are an important segment of sales and distribution today. Heavenly
Chocolates manufactures and sells quality chocolates at its plant and retail store in Bozeman,
MT. Three years ago, the company developed a website and began sales on the internet. Website
sales have exceeded expectations and management is now considering strategies to continue to
increase its sales. To learn more about its sales, Heavenly Chocolates selected a sample of 50
random transactions from its previous month’s sales. The transaction data shows the day of the
week the purchase was made, the type of browser used in the transaction, the time spent on the
website, the number of website pages viewed, and the amount spent by the customer. The data is
shown in a file named Chocolate.
Heavenly Chocolates would like to determine if time spent on the website or the number
of pages viewed influence the total purchase. They would also like to examine any effect that day
of the week and browser type have on sales.
Managerial Report
Prepare a report (see below) using the numerical methods of descriptive statistics presented in
this module to learn how the variables contribute to the sales of chocolate. Be sure to include the
following four (4) items in your report.
1. Descriptive statistics (mean, median, range, and standard deviation) for each of the three
variables along with an explanation of what the descriptive statistics tell us about the
sales.
2. A breakdown using descriptive statistics examining the effect of days of the week on
sales. Evaluate the results.
3. A breakdown using descriptive statistics examining the effect of browser type on sales.
Evaluate the results.
4. Descriptive statistics (correlation coefficient) showing the relationship between sales (in
dollars), and each of the other two variables. Evaluate the relationships between sales (in
dollars) and each of the other variables (time spent and pages visited). Use tables, charts,
graphs, or visual dashboards to support your conclusions. Make recommendations for
continuing to develop sales to the management.
Write a report that adheres to the Written Assignment Requirements under the heading
“Expectations for CSU-Global Written Assignments” found in the CSU-Global Guide to Writing
and APA Requirements. As with all written assignments at CSU-Global, you should have in-text
citations and a reference page.
Your report must contain the following: A title page
An introduction GUIDE TO WRITING WITH STATISTICS 4 A body of the paper that answers the questions posed in the problem and calculations and
graphs associated with this problem.
A conclusion paragraph that addresses your findings and what you have determined from
the data and your analysis. Submit your Excel file in addition to your report.

Website transactions are an important segment of sales and distribution today. Any
business developing a market for online sales would be wise to analyze data from both the
general marketplace and its own specific customer segment. Analysis of this data can provide
insight into further development of sales. Heavenly Chocolates data-mined their transactions for
the previous month to gather a random sample of 50 customer transactions. The sample recorded
the day of the week the purchase was made, the type of browser used in the transaction, the time
spent on their website, the number of website pages viewed, and the amount spent by the
customer. The purpose of this analysis is to determine if the time spent on the website or the
number of pages viewed influences the total purchase. The impact of day of the week and
browser type on sales will also be studied.
Overview of Online Sales
The 50 customers sampled spent a total of $3,406.41 in the previous month. This is an
average of $68.10 per customer. The purchases ranged from a $17.80 to $158.50. The average
customer spent 12.8 minutes on the website. Time spent on the website ranged from 4.3 minutes
to 32.9 minutes. The typical customer viewed almost five pages, with two as the minimum and
ten as the maximum. The data set is summarized below in Table 1.

Impact of Day of the Week on Sales
The daily sales breakdown reveals some interesting patterns. Sunday is the lowest sales
day, from the perspective of both total sales ($218.15) and average sales ($43.60). Monday and
Friday were the best days in terms of overall sales performance. Monday had the highest mean
(average) sales at $90.40, while Friday had the highest total sales at $945.43 for roughly 28% of
the sample total. See Table 2 for a complete breakdown of the impact of the day of the week on
amount spent, time spent on the website, and number of pages viewed.

By almost every measure, Monday is the best day for sales. Friday follows closely (see
Table 2). It makes logical sense to recommend that the marketing department develop advertising
targeted for Monday and Friday. Weekends are subpar and midweek statistics are nearly
equivalent. Targeting sales or special packages for midweek may produce some increased traffic.
If these recommendations are implemented, follow-up analysis is recommended to see if the
desired results are being produced.
Impact of Browser on Sales HEAVENLY CHOCOLATES WEB SALES ANALYSIS (Sample) 5 There were also sales differences revealed by breaking the data down by browser type.
Customers using Internet Explorer to complete their transactions accounted for the highest total
sales at $1,656.81; however, this value was achieved on volume (see Table 3). Internet Explorer
had the lowest average sale at $61.36 while Firefox customers averaged $76.80 per transaction.

The opportunity here is to target premium packages for advertising specific to Firefox.
Value packages could be created for advertising specific to Internet Explorer. This promotion
should be combined with the recommendations given regarding days of the week and subjected
to a follow-up analysis to check for results.
Relationship between Amount Spent and Website Use
The other feature of this analysis is to evaluate the relationship between amount spent by
customers and how much time they spent on the website with the additional variable of number HEAVENLY CHOCOLATES WEB SALES ANALYSIS (Sample) 6 of pages viewed also taken into account. For this, a correlation analysis was performed. The
correlation coefficient between time spent on the website and amount spent in dollars was
moderately positive (r = 0.58). A similar moderately positive correlation coefficient (r = 0.60)
was found between the variables of time spent on the website and number of pages visited. The
strongest correlation was found between number of pages viewed on the website and amount
spent. This correlation coefficient (r = 0.72) approaches a strong positive correlation (see Figure
1). This suggests that there may be some merit in trying to guide customers to view more pages.

A common tactic is to guide customers to pages that have also been viewed by other
customers viewing the product on the current page. Another suggestion is to pair pages and
suggest that customers who purchased the product on the current page also frequently purchased
a product on the linked page. As with previous suggestions, follow-up analysis should be
performed to check results. On a cautionary note, this can be overdone. The statement from HEAVENLY CHOCOLATES WEB SALES ANALYSIS (Sample) 7 Essentials of Statistics for Business and Economics that correlation is a measure of linear
association and not causation should also be duly noted (Anderson, et al., 2015).
Conclusion
The analysis of this sample of 50 random customer transactions revealed several items to
be used in the development of continued growth at Heavenly Chocolate. There is positive
correlation between all three variables, but the strongest correlation is between number of pages
viewed and amount of sales. There is adequate reason to pursue linking pages and making
suggestions for customer purchasing. Monday and Friday are the best sales days. Firefox
customers spend the most, but Internet Explorer customers provide the highest volume.
Packaging and marketing strategies can be developed using this information. This analysis
validates the use of statistical tools to provide insight into new strategies. Follow-up analysis is
also mandated to find out if the strategies are producing results. HEAVENLY CHOCOLATES WEB SALES ANALYSIS (Sample)

Bottling Company Case Study

Bottling Company Case Study
Assignment 1: Bottling Company Case Study

Imagine you are a manager at a major bottling company. Customers have begun to complain that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in your company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set provided by your instructor to complete this assignment.

Write a two to three (2-3) page report in which you:

Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for ounces in the bottles.
Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the ounces in the bottles.
Conduct a hypothesis test to verify if the claim that a bottle contains less than sixteen (16) ounces is supported. Clearly state the logic of your test, the calculations, and the conclusion of your test.
Provide the following discussion based on the conclusion of your test:
a. If you conclude that there are less than sixteen (16) ounces in a bottle of soda, speculate on three (3) possible causes. Next, suggest the strategies to avoid the deficit in the future.

b. If you conclude that the claim of less soda per bottle is not supported or justified, provide a detailed explanation to your boss about the situation. Include your speculation on the reason(s) behind the claim, and recommend one (1) strategy geared toward mitigating this issue in the future.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
