A local bank claims that the waiting time for its customers to be served is the lowest in the area. A competitor bank checks the waiting times at both banks. The sample statistics are listed below. Test the local bank's claim. Use the information given below. Use a significance level of .05 and assume the variances are equal. Sample statistics for a local bank and a competitor's bank Local Bank Competitor Bank Sample size n1 = 46 n2 = 50 Average waiting time in minutes for each sample X, = 2.3 mins. X2 = 2.6 Sample Standard Deviation of each Sample = 1.1 mins 1.0 mins. S1 S2 1. Are the samples dependent or independent? 2. State your Null/Alternative hypotheses 3. What is the test-statistic?
