Chapter 10, Problem 47PS
A bank with a branch located in a commercial district of a city has the business objective of improving the process for serving customers during the noon-to-1 p.m. lunch period. To do so, the waiting time (defined as the number of minutes that elapses from when the customer enters the line until he or she reaches the teller window) needs to be shortened to increase customer satisfaction. A random sample of 14 customers is selected and the waiting times are collected and stored in Bank1. These data are:
Suppose that another branch, located in a residential area, is also concerned with the noon-to-1 p.m. A random sample of 15 customers is selected and the waiting times are collected and stored in Bank2. These data are:
a. Is there evidence of a difference in the variability of the waiting time between two branches?
b. Determine the P-value in (a) and interpret its meaning.
c. What assumption about the population distribution of each bank is necessary in (a)? Is assumption valid for these data?
d. Based on the results of (a), is it appropriate to use the pooled-variance t test to compare the means of the two branches?

After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected. a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected. b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected? c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion.
