I need assistant on this problem. I just received help on how to another problem out but not sure if this is the same way. Please advise. Thanks!

After discussing the issue with you and others in the Finance department, the manager decided to change the payment terms for Accounts Receivable. The payment time remained at 14 days, but the penalty for late payments was increased.

After about 3 months under the new payment terms, you asked the manager to collect a second stratified random sample.

These is the data that I used
