Question

The marketing department of a company has designed two different boxes for its product it wants to determine which box will produce larger amount of sales. Each box will be test marketed in three different stores for a period of a month. Below you are given the information on sales. What conclusion do you draw at alpha = 0.05? The mean of box 3 is larger than the others therefore the null hypothesis is accepted. The mean of box 3 is larger than the others, therefore the null hypothesis is rejected. Even though the mean of box 3 is larger than the others, the null hypothesis is not rejected. Since all means are the same the null hypothesis is rejected. None of above is true.

Explanation / Answer

Contingency table results:
Rows: var4
Columns: None


Chi-Square test:

Hence, we reject the null hypothesis.

The mean of box 3 is larger than others so null hypothesis is rejected.
