Question statement

Some marketing research studies indicate the "positive impact of store brand penetration on store profitability as measured by market share" (Lal,M.C.(2000). Building Store Loyalty Through Store Brands, Journal of Marketing Research, 37, no. 3, pp281).

The manager of a local supermarket that sells four national brands (A, B, C and D) and one store brand (E) of {this} wants to find out whether or not customers have a preference for a particular brand. Over the course of a {thislong}, the number of customers buying each brand of {this} was noted; the results are shown in the table below:

{table1([['A',{a}],['B',{b}],['C',{c}],['D',{d}],['E',{f}]],['Brand','No. of Customers'],true,false,false,true)}

Test the null hypothesis that, in fact, customers at this supermarket do not have a preference for a particular brand of {this}.

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Information only

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Step 1: Null hypothesis

$\operatorname{H}_0:\;$ Customers do not have a preference for a particular brand of {this}.

Step 2: Alternative hypothesis

$\operatorname{H}_1:\;$ Customers do have a preference for a particular brand of {this}.

Advice

Step 3

Completing the table we have $E= \var{t}/5=\var{t/5}$ for all brands.

We do the last column calculations for brand A.

$\displaystyle \frac{(O -E) ^ 2}{ E} = \frac{(\var{a} -\var{e1}) ^ 2} {\var{e1}} = \var{x[0]}$

to 2 decimal places.

	$O$	$E$	$\displaystyle \frac{(O-E)^2}{E}$
A	$\var{a}$	$\var{e1}$	$\var{x[0]}$
B	$\var{b}$	$\var{e1}$	$\var{x[1]}$
C	$\var{c}$	$\var{e1}$	$\var{x[2]}$
D	$\var{d}$	$\var{e1}$	$\var{x[3]}$
E	$\var{f}$	$\var{e1}$	$\var{x[4]}$
			$\chi^2=\;\var{chi}$

The test statistic is then:

\[\displaystyle \chi ^ 2 = \sum \frac{(O -E)^2}{E} = \var{x[0]} + \var{x[1]} + \var{x[2]} + \var{x[3]} + \var{x[4]} = \var{chi}\]

Step 4:

The degrees of freedom is given by: $\nu$= no. of categories $- 1 = 5-1=4$

The following are the critical values for $\nu=4$.

{table1([['Critical Value',{crit[0]},{crit[1]},{crit[2]}]],['p-value','10%','5%','1%'],false,false,false,false)}

Looking at this test statistic we see that the p-range {choices[pval]}.

The conclusion we come to is that {correctc} Hence {correcth}
