In the book Business Research Methods, Donald R. Cooper and C. William Emory (1995) discuss a manager
Question:
a. Set up the null and alternative hypotheses needed to attempt to establish that type A training results in higher mean weekly sales than does type B training.
b. Because different sales trainees are assigned to the two experimental groups, it is reasonable to believe that the two samples are independent. Assuming that the normality assumption holds, and using the equal variances procedure, test the hypotheses you set up in part a at levels of significance .10, .05, .01, and .001. How much evidence is there that type A training produces results that are superior to those of type B?
c. Use the equal variances procedure to calculate a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference between the mean weekly sales obtained when type A training is used and the mean weekly sales obtained when type B training is used. Interpret this interval.
