QUESTION 5

Suppose you have a product which you sell in two markets of comparable size and you want to test the hypothesis that the demand for the product is the same in the two markets. In practice you test that the quantity demanded is the same and find that for sample of 17 different time periods with different prices the average quantity demanded in the first market is 1765 and in the second market it is 1688. The standard deviation of the differences is 60.5. True or False: we reject the null hypothesis of equal means for quantity demanded at the .05 level of significance.

QUESTION 11

For a sample of 54 discount brokers the average price of a $5,000 trade was $33.77. Past surveys of this kind show a standard deviation of $15 so we assume that is the known population standard deviation. Construct a 90% confidence interval and enter the lower bound for the interval. (Answer to one decimal place and do not include a $ sign).
