More than $70 billion is spent each year in the drive-thru lanes of America’s fast-food restaurants. Having quick, accurate, and friendly service at a drive-thru window translates directly into revenue for the restaurant According to Jack Greenberg, former CEO of McDonald’s, sales increase 1% for every six seconds saved at the drive-thru. So industry executives, stockholders, and analysts closely follow the ratings of fast-food drive-thru lanes that appear annually in QSR, a publication that reports on the quick-service restaurant industry. The 2012 QSR magazine drive-thru study involved visits to a random sample of restaurants in the 20 largest fast-food chains in all 50 states. During each visit, the researcher ordered a modified main item (for example, a hamburger with no pickles), a side item, and a drink. If any item was not received as ordered, or if the restaurant failed to give the correct change or supply a straw and a napkin, then the order was considered "inaccurate." Service time, which is the time from when the car stopped at the speaker to when the entire order was received, was measured each visit. Researchers also recorded whether or not each restaurant had an order-confirmation board in its drive-thru.
Here are some results from the 2012 QSR study:
• For restaurants with order-confirmation boards, 1169 of 1327 visits (88.1%) resulted in accurate orders. For restaurants with no order-confirmation board, 655 of 726 visits (90.2%) resulted in accurate orders.
• McDonald’s average service time for 362 drive-thru visits was 188.83 seconds with a standard deviation of 17.38 seconds. Burger King’s service time for 318 drive-thru visits had a mean of 201.33 seconds and a standard deviation of 18.85 seconds.
a. Is there a significant difference in order accuracy between restaurants with and without order-confirmation boards? Carry out an appropriate test at the a = 0.05 level to help answer this question.
b Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the difference in the mean service times at McDonald’s and Burger King drive-thrus.

You drop a rubber ball off the roof of a 50 meter high building onto a paved parking lot. it bounces back up with every bounce, but not quite all the way back up to you. after the first bounce it bounces back only 80 percent of the distance it was dropped from. the pattern continues, meaning after every bounce it comes up to just 80 percent of the previous maximum height. so if before the first bounce the height is 50 meters, what height does the ball reach after the fifth bounce? round your answer to one decimal place and chose the correct response from the choices below:
