The owner had 275 customers that day.

Surprised by the high number of customers who purchased specialty pet clothing that day, the owner decided that her 4% estimate must have been too low. How many clothing sales would it have taken to convince you? Justify your answer. Title: The owner of a pet store is trying to decide whether to discontinue selling specialty clothes for ... Post by: kiyomika on Aug 31, 2019 Since np = 11 and nq = 264, we expect at least 10 successes and at least 10 failures. The sample size is large enough to apply a Normal model. It would be unusual to see the number of customers who purchased specialty pet clothing more than 2 or 3 standard deviations above the mean. Since the standard deviation = 3.25, it would be unusual to see more than 18 (11 + 2(3.25) = 17.5) customers who purchased specialty clothing. So, I would conclude that her 4% estimate must have been too low if more than 18 customers purchased specialty clothing for their pet.
