### Statistical Analysis of the Time Required to Start a Business

This analysis investigates whether there is a significant difference in the mean time required to start a business between developed and emerging countries. The data includes days needed to complete business procedures in 20 developed countries and 20 emerging countries. 

#### Hypotheses

Let \( \mu_1 \) be the mean time for developed countries, and \( \mu_2 \) for emerging countries. We are testing the following hypotheses:

- **Null Hypothesis (\( H_0 \))**: \( \mu_1 = \mu_2 \)
- **Alternative Hypothesis (\( H_1 \))**: \( \mu_1 \neq \mu_2 \)

The chosen hypothesis (C) indicates a two-tailed test.

#### Data Table
A table shows the number of days required to start a business in developed and emerging countries:

- **Developed Countries (days):** 25, 115, 7, 33, 8, 6, 29, 6, 7, 8
- **Emerging Countries (days):** 30, 10, 17, 19, 7, 11, 22, 26, 7, 24, 23, 3

#### Statistical Analysis

- **Test Statistic:** 
  - \( t_{\text{STAT}} = 1.75 \) (rounded to two decimal places)

- **Critical Values:** 
  - Chosen value: \( t_{\alpha/2} = \pm 2.02 \)

#### Conclusion

Based on the test statistic and critical values:

- **Conclusion:** 
  - Fail to reject \( H_0 \). There is insufficient evidence of a difference in mean time required to start a business.

#### Interpretation of P-value

- **P-value interpretation is required but not included in this snippet.**

This analysis assumes equal population variances and uses a significance level \( \alpha = 0.05 \).
