Avery, who has leased commercial property from the same property manager several times over the past few years, is interested in opening a coffee shop in a new shopping plaza. The property manager tells Avery, “The space is yours. Go ahead and order your equipment so you’ll be ready for opening day—we’ll finalize the lease next week.” Relying on that statement, Avery places a non-refundable deposit on commercial coffee equipment.

Essay: Doris, an aspiring fashion designer, attends a hockey game with Nina and Tracey, two well-known fashion designers. During the game, Doris tells them she would like to design 20 dresses for their upcoming televised fashion show. Because the arena is extremely loud, Nina and Tracey cannot hear most of what Doris is saying. Wanting to be polite, they smile, nod, and say, “Sounds great!” Believing they accepted her proposal, Doris Designs creates and ships the dresses and spends $25,000 producing additional dresses in anticipation of increased demand. Nina and Tracey return the dresses, explaining they never realized Doris believed they had agreed to purchase them. Doris Designs sues. Did Doris Designs and Nina and Tracey form an enforceable contract? Briefly explain.

A researcher believes the mean wait times of two call centers are statistically different. The researcher independently samples 100 customers from each of two call centers. The sample mean wait times are as follows: xˉ1=8.5\bar{x}_1=8.5, xˉ2=7.5\bar{x}_2=7.5  The corresponding population standard deviations are known to be: σ1=4\sigma_1=4, σ2=3\sigma_2=3 Calculate the test statistic (t-score or z-score) using the appropriate test.

A circuit breaker manufacturer claims that, under specified test conditions, its breakers trip at a mean current of at least 25 A. A quality-control engineer believes that the true mean trip current is lower than 25 A. The population standard deviation is known to be 4 A. The engineer randomly tests 64 circuit breakers and observes a sample mean trip current of 24 A. Calculate the p-value associated with the sample result. (Hint: Use the 68-95-99.7 rule)
