The following results were found:

1. Sample mean for price was $46.60with a standard deviation of$5.90

2. Proportion who would purchase the new product was78%

Larry:You have the new data already? Great. So, like I said previously, at least85%of the customers must express some desire for the product. The customers who are interested in the product must be willing to pay at least$47.50.

Questions

Using this information, complete the following:

1. Conduct hypothesis tests for price and proportion.
