A student project
involved collecting data to see if there was a difference in the
amount of time one had to wait at the drive-thru between two fast
food restaurants, A and B. She randomly selected 17 cars at fast
food restaurant A and 17 cars at fast food restaurant B. For each
car chosen, she recorded how much time passed from the placement of
the order to receiving their food at the pick-up window. The data
is given in the table below measured in Seconds. Use
α=0.05α=0.05.
Fast Food A | Fast Food B |
237.1 | 261.8 |
161.2 | 272.2 |
232.8 | 165.7 |
185.8 | 205.4 |

Choose the most appropriate statistical hypotheses.
A. H0:μA=μBHA:μA<μBH0:μA=μBHA:μA<μB
B. H0:μD=0,HA:μD<0H0:μD=0,HA:μD<0
C. H0:μA=μBHA:μA>μBH0:μA=μBHA:μA>μB
D. H0:μD=0,HA:μD>0H0:μD=0,HA:μD>0
E. H0:μA=μBHA:μA≠μBH0:μA=μBHA:μA≠μB
F. H0:μD=0,HA:μD≠0H0:μD=0,HA:μD≠0
(b) Test the statistical hypotheses in (a) by carrying out the
appropriate statistical test. Find the value of the test statistic
for this test, use at least two decimals in your answer.
Test Statistic =
(c) Determine the P-value for this test, to at least three decimal
places.
(d) Based on the above calculations, we should ? reject
not reject the null hypothesis. Use α=0.05
