1.6 Testing the Possible Difference in Net Takings in the Two Shops

While a company is calculating net taking they must take care or ensure that there standard deviation must be less because it leads to profitable situations. Standard deviation is represent the actual difference between mean and desire outcome. Therefore having more variance between mean and standard deviation leads to affect reliability and validity of strategies. So it is responsibility of manager and leader to develop strategies and plans which reduce gaps between actual outcome and standard outcome. If they not create appropriate business strategy then standard deviation outcome will increase which is not appropriate and good for an organization profitability and market shares.

As Eco-Fone's offers mobile phones and accessories on discounted rates on this two retail shops, where first shop gains profitability mean as 100 Euro and another shop as 90 Euro. But both has taken a same sample size i.e. 40 on net daily takings, where standard deviation of both shops is measured as £20 and £40, respectively. Therefore, it has interpreted from this analysis that shop first has gained more profitability as compared to another. Because with increase of sample size and mean, variability is expected to be decreased. But here in first case, with sample size 40 and mean £100, standard of variation is £20. While, another shop on same sample size has got less mean but high variability. Therefore, both shops didn't take the same net takings or net profitability, in terms of reliability and validity. So, second shop needs to rebuild its offer strategy on discounted rates (Abramovici, 2014).
