The Rocky Mountain district sales manager of Rath Publishing Inc., a college textbook publishing company, claims that the sales representatives make an average of 36 sales calls per week on professors. Several reps say that this estimate is too low. To investigate, a random sample of 26 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 44. The standard deviation of the sample is 4.5 calls.
a) Using the 0.010 significance level, can we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 36?

1. why is a frequency distribution useful? it allows researchers to see the "shape" of the data. it tells researchers how often the mean occurs in a set of data. it can visually identify the mean. it ignores outliers. 2. the is defined by its mean and standard deviation alone. normal distribution frequency distribution median distribution marginal distribution 3. approximately % of the data in a given sample falls within three standard deviations of the mean if it is normally distributed. 95 68 34 99 4. a data set is said to be if the mean of the data is greater than the median of the data. normally distributed frequency distributed right-skewed left-skewed
