Bank A and Bank B have each developed an improved process for serving customers. The waiting period from the moment a customer enters until he or she reaches the counter needs to be shortened. A random sample of 10 customers is selected from each bank and the results (in minutes) are shown in the accompanying data table. Complete parts (a) through (d).

Incorrect: 3 Interpret the p-value. Choose the correct answer below. O A. It is the probability of obtaining a sample that yields a t test statistic farther away from 0 in either direction than the computed test statistic if there is no difference in the mean waiting time between Bank A and Bank B. O B. It is the probability of obtaining a sample that yields a t test statistic farther away from 0 in the negative direction than the computed test statistic if there is no difference in the mean waiting time between Bank A and Bank B. O C. It is the probability of obtaining a sample that yields a t test statistic farther away from 0 in the positive direction than the computed test statistic if there is no difference in the mean waiting time between Bank A and Bank B. c. In addition to equal variances, what other assumption is necessary in (a)? O A. Both sampled populations are approximately normal. O B. The sample sizes must be equal. O C. Both sampled populations are not approximately normal. O D. The samples are specifially chosen and not independently sampled. d. Suppose that we were now informed that the standard deviation for both Banks is known: Bank A std. dev. =1.3 and Bank B std. dev. = 2.3! This permits us to perform a Z-test for the difference of the 2 means. In this case, the Z-statistic would be Click to select your answer(s) and then click Check
