Can someone help me with my statistics problem?

Q. A customer is searching for deals on hotels on the internet. They know from research that hotel rooms in New York City average $200 per night with standard deviation of $36.

Chicago hotel rooms average $175 per night with a standard deviation of $29.

They find two "deals";

A 5-star hotel room in NYC for $170.
A 5-star hotel room in Chicago for $150.

(A) Assuming they will gladly visit either city assuming they get the "best deal", which of the two deals should the customer take?

A. calculate standard scores:

NYC = -0.8333

Chi = -0.8621

Chi is the better deal

What part of Chicago would be the best to stay in for a trip?
Q. I am planning a little trip and booking on Hotwire. Which place in Chicago is the most fun?

This is what hotwire is giving me

-Magnificent Mile Area-Streeterville Hotel
-North Michigan Avenue- Water Tower- Gold Coast Hotel
-Chicago Loop Hotel
-Museum Campus - McCormick Place - Soldier Field Hotel


Which one would be the best part? I've never been and I REALLY need to be good!!

A. The first two would be nicest.

Can you recommend a nice romantic restaurant on Chicago's Magnificent Mile?
Q. We're celebrating our first year wedding anniversary with a weekend in Chicago. Our hotel is the Doubletree on E. Ohio Street. Do you know of a romantic place within walking distance?

A. Try the Signature Room (reservations required, I believe) for a picturesque view of the city. Otherwise, my second choice is Morton's. then go for the horse-drawn carriage ride. Good luck.
