From her firm's computer telephone log, an executive found that the mean length of 64 telephone calls during July was 4.48 minutes with a standard deviation of 5.87 minutes. She vowed to make an effort to reduce the length of calls. The August phone log showed 48 telephone calls whose mean was 2.396 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.018 minutes. (a)Choose the appropriate hypotheses for a right-tailed test. Assume₁is the average call length in July and₂is the average call length in August. a.H₀:₁-₂ 0 vs.H₁:₁-₂> 0 b.H₀:₁-₂< 0 vs.H₁:₁-₂ 0 multiple choice 1

• The sample standard deviations are not equal.
• The number of phone calls in the two samples is not equal.
• The distribution could be skewed to the right by one or two extremely long calls.

The number of phone calls recorded was not large enough to assume normal distribution.
