A customer service representative was interested in comparing the average time (in minutes) customers are placed on hold when calling Southern California Edison and Southern California Gas companies. The representative obtained two independent random samples and calculated the following summary information: So Cal Edison
Southern Cal Edison | Southern Cal Gas | |
Sample Size | 9 | 12 |
Sample Mean | 3.2 min | 2.8 min |
Sample Standard deviation | 0.5 min | 0.7 min |
Assume the distributions of time a customer is on hold are approximately normal.
Using the null and alternate hypothesis:
H0:mu1-mu2=0 vs. Ha:mu1-mu2 not equal 0
Calculate the value of the test statistic.
The sign of the value of test statistics depends on the statement of hypothesis.
