Question

A retailer entered into an exclusive agreement with a supplier who guaranteed to provide all products at competitive prices. The retailer eventually began to purchase supplies from other vendors who offered better prices. The original supplier filed a legal action claiming violation of the agreement. In defense, the retailer had an audit performed on a random sample of invoices. For each audited invoice, all purchases made from other suppliers were examined and the prices were compared with those offered by the original supplier. For each invoice, the percent of purchases for which the alternate supplier offered a lower price than the original supplier was recorded. Here are the data.

64 100 16 44 52 28 16 56 68 56 32 68 88 16 20 16 88 32 32 36 40 56 88 4 96
