Discussion:
Q1. A recent study focused on the number of times men and women who live alone buy take-out dinner in a month. The information is summarized below
Statistic Men Women
Sample mean 24.51 22.69
Population standard deviation 4.48 3.86
Sample size 35 40
At the .01 significance level, is there a difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month? What is the p-value?
Q2. Grand Strand Family Medical Center is specifically set up to treat minor medical emergencies for visitors to the Myrtle Beach area. There are two facilities, one in the Little River Area and the other in Murrells Inlet. The Quality Assurance Department wishes to compare the mean waiting time for patients at the two locations. Samples of the waiting times, reported in minutes, follow:
Assume the population standard deviations are not the same. At the .05 significance level, is there a difference in the mean waiting time?
Location Waiting Time
Little River 31.73 28.77 29.53 22.08 29.47 18.60 32.94 25.18 29.82 26.49
Murrells Inlet 22.93 23.92 26.92 27.20 26.44 25.62 30.61 29.44 23.09 23.10 26.69 22.31
