Null and Alternative Hypothesis at WidgeCorp
acquiring a rival company, Company W. Their management style and business
decision-making differed. Employees at WidgeCorp collected relevant data and
through statistical analysis used this information to draw conclusions and make
appropriate recommendations. Company W tended to rely on the experience and
judgment of its managers. For the time being, both companies are being managed
separately, but within the next twelve months they will merge all management,
processes, and accounting. You work for Company W and are a little nervous
about this new way of working, but realize that you need to be able to present
issues and recommendations with statistical verification to the WidgeCorp
executives. You will also introduce and employ statistical analysis to the
senior management of Company W’s various departments such as Marketing, Sales,
and Production. Part of your job will be to educate Company W as well.
You’re trying to explain null and alternative hypotheses to
one of the senior managers at Company W and he’s not “getting it”
when you use snack food sales. Help him by thinking about a business problem in
another organization or department. Formulate a null hypothesis and the
corresponding alternative hypothesis that could be tested.
Use Word. 3paragraph minimum.
