Mr. Dan Selig, president and CEO, would like to know the characteristics of his checking account customer. To better understand the customers, Mr. Selig asked Ms. Wendy Lamberg, director of planning, to select a sample of customers and prepare a report. To begin, she has appointed a team from her staff and the team has selected a random sample of 60 customers. All the information gathered is tabulated in the table below: X1 = …show more content…
For many years the mean checking balance has been $1600. Does the sample data indicate that the mean account balance has declined from this value? SOLUTION µ (Checking balance) = $1600.00 Number of customers, n = 60 In this case, level of significance, α was not provided. Therefore, the analysis will be evaluated based on two α values which are: α = 0.05; Zα = - 1.65 α = 0.01; Zα = - 2.33 Hypotesis testing 1) H0 : µ ≥ 1600 H1 : µ < 1600 2) α = 0.05 α = 0.01 3) Left-tail test Z(0.05) = - 1.65 Z(0.01) = - 2.33 4) Z calculated :- -1.65 -2.33 α=0.05 α=0.01 Z= -1.2994 5) From calculations, computed z value is more than -1.65 and falls within Ho not rejected region. Ho is not rejected at α = 0.05 & α = 0.01 significance levels. It is concluded that the mean checking balance is still similar or more than $1600 QUESTION 3 Recent years have also seen an increase in the use of ATM machines. When Mr. Selig took over the bank, the mean number of transactions per month per customer was 8; now he believes it has increased to more than 10. In fact, the advertising agency that prepares TV commercial for Century would like to use this on the new commercial being designed. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean number of transactions per customer is more than 10 per month? Could the advertising agency say the mean is more than 9 per month? SOLUTION
a. According to the bank statement, how many checks were written from this account during the statement period? (0.5 points)
We reject Ho if χ2 > χα2. At α=0.05, with 4 degrees of freedom, the critical value becomes χα2=9.488 (table E.4)
(b) The value of Z with an area of 5% in the right tail, but not the sample mean.
Selecting a financial institution can be confusing with the various services offered by each. Taking advantage of the Payment Account Comparison sheet will provide Shelby with a list of services to assess at each institution and compare them side by side. Great variety exists between commercial banks, savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, and credit unions. In addition to the types of checking and savings accounts offered at each bank, it is important to assess the fees of a variety of banking processes, as well as the hours the bank is open. Another important factor is the location of the branch offices as well as the availability of ATM’s in a variety of locations. In society today, using an automatic teller machine to
He selects a sample of 15 families, some with only a single insured driver, others with several teenage drivers, and pays each family a stipend to contact the two companies and ask for a price quote. To make the data comparable, certain features, such as the deductible amount and limits of liability, are standardized. The sample information is reported below. At the .10 significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference in the amounts quoted?
In Problem 1, a two-tailed (non-directional) test was conducted since the test is to determine whether the mean is different for the GPA averages between men and women within the MBA program at Whatsamatta U (Mirabella, 2011). In hypothesis testing, the p-value is the likelihood of detecting a sample marker as excessive as the test value (Hypothesis Test, n.d.). Therefore, the p-value of
begin service within three minutes 95% of the time. Since the bank was not yet prepared to forecast customer arrival patterns, this model was an after-the-fact look at how service should have been provided. Any large deviations would indicate possible problems and motivate further studies to find solutions. The bank 's data collection system provided the average number of customer/teller transactions for each time period of the day, grouped into fifteen minutes intervals. This data was usually averaged for all days of the week and month to provide a "bank standard" for transactions per customer and time per transaction. The bank 's standards did not provide a breakdown by day of the week or day of the month. This local data collection model mirrored that provided by banking industry publications which compiled "national standard" data on the mean number of separate transactions each customer makes, both in the lobby and the drive through, and the mean length of time required for each transaction. The objective of the bank 's data model was to permit comparison of local performance to national standards. Our first step was to build a mathematical model to compute the number of teller Full Time Equivalents (FTE 's) needed in each time interval to provide service within three minutes 95% of the time. Since this is a

Yes – If Citibank is striving to reach its goal of achieving $100 million in earnings by 1990, introducing a credit card into the Asia-Pacific market would be an effective means of achieving this goal. The case for launching the card product can be made based on a few reasons. First, as can be seen in the information presented in Exhibit 4, many of the countries Citibank is considering launching in have fairly high projected growth rates (with some as high as 8 and 9 percent). Another reason that promotes the case for Citibank’s card launch is the fact that there is a fairly low penetration of credit cards in the existing markets, as can be seen in the data presented in exhibit 8 of the case. This is
