Question

A mobile manufacturing company distributed a newly launched mobile to 100 retail stores. These stores also sell another famous brand of mobile having same features. The manager of the company wants to compare the popularity of the newly launched mobile (say, Brand A) with the other popular mobile (say, Brand B). For this purpose, she selects a sample of 100 stores and noted the total number of sold mobiles of each brand. The data are recorded in the following table:

We can solve this step by step manually, using the data you provided. Since it’s a large dataset (100 stores), we will outline the numerical procedure and calculate key statistics systematically. --- ### Step i) Which mobile brand has more average sales? The average sales (mean) is: $$ \bar{X} = \frac{\text{Sum of all sales}}{n} $$ #### Sum of sales: Let’s denote: * Brand A sales = $X_A$ * Brand B sales = $X_B$ * $n = 100$ From the data (summing carefully in batches of 10 to avoid errors): * Brand A sum: 1–10: $204+328+262+364+478+368+506+362+151+371 = 3,394$ 11–20: $522+328+532+491+428+311+434+314+425+296 = 4,081$ 21–30: $289+240+245+271+225+485+174+257+417+234 = 2,837$ 31–40: $324+280+341+465+384+424+352+405+227+165 = 3,367$ 41–50: $203+327+261+363+477+367+505+361+161+370 _______ ____ _________ _______ ___ _________ _________ _________ _______ _______ _________ __________.

Suppose that a customer service manager of a mall wants to evaluate the service of the eight food counters in the mall. She/he hires seven evaluators with varied experience in food-service evaluation to act as raters. To reduce the effect of the variability from rater to rater, a randomised block design is applied considering raters serving as the blocks. The seven raters evaluate the service of each of the eight food counters in a randomorder. A rating scale from 0 (low) to 100 (high) is used. The following table summarises the results:

  Food Counters
Raters A B C D E F G H
1 70 61 82 74 68 59 80 81
2 77 75 88 76 75 73 86 87
3 76 67 90 80 74 65 82 88
4 80 63 87 76 78 61 85 86
5 84 66 92 84 82 64 90 91
6 78 68 94 86 76 66 80 92
7 77 75 88 76 75 73 86 84

The effect of evaluation of each rater on the service of food counters is normally distributed with approximately equal variances.

i) Analyse the design at 2% level of significance.

ii) Is the average service of the eight food counters significantly different? If the difference between the averages services of the eight restaurants is significant, do the pair-wise comparison between them 

i) Is there enough evidence that the average sales of mobile of Brand A is more than the average sales of the Brand B at 5 % level of significance?

A scientist wants to check the yield of wheat from different varieties of wheat. In this regards, the yields of wheat from 16 plots, all of approximately equal fertility, when 4 varieties of wheat (Say, A, B, C and D) were cultivated are recorded in the following table:

Plot No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Variety: A B D C B C A D
Yield: 42 44 39 41 43 44 44 36
Plot No.: 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
Variety: B D A C B A B C
Yield: 46 40 43 45 47 45 45

42

Assuming that the yields of wheat are normally distributed in each variety with approximately equal variances, test the hypothesis that the average yields of wheat in all four varieties of wheat are the same at 1% level of significance.  

Twenty operators are working in a particular department of a call centre. The longserving operators feel that they should have a promotion based on length of service built into their job structure. For assessment of their efficiency, the personnel department produces a score of efficiency based on various parameters. The efficiency scores along with their length of service are given below:

S. No. Length of Service Efficiency Scores
1 2 72
2 9 90
3 5 74
4 9 88
5 4 70
6 5 77
7 6 77
8 5 78
9 7 87
10 6 80
11 4 72
12 8 83
13 8 84
14 7 84
15 8 85
16 7 90
17 3 69
18 5 89
19 7 90
20 5 79

 Compute the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient between the length of service and efficiency scores? Also compare this coefficient with Pearson’s correlation coefficient

ii) Are the variances of the distributions of mobiles of Brand A and Brand B equal at 5 % level of significance?
