capella MBA-FP6018 ASSESSMENT 5

Assessment Instructions

Overview
Write a 1–2 page analysis of an approach to gather data and
statistically test a hypothetical assertion.

Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other,
so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.

You are the manager of the Blander Mountain store in
Frogtown, Illinois. Recently, a customer mentioned that he believed your prices
for ammunition were lower than the prices of Blander’s primary competitor in
the hunting equipment market. You would like to be able to include that
statement in a forthcoming print advertisement, so you need statistical
evidence to support this assertion.

Identify the null and alternative hypotheses needed to test
the contention.
Analyze the most appropriate sample selection technique to
gather data for testing the hypothesis.
Identify what statistical test you should use to test this
hypothesis with the data you will collect.
Compile your work in a 1–2 page Microsoft Word file, pasting
in any graphics or tables you used in your analysis.
