A health geography student was studying the wait times at two walk-in clinics (Clinic A & Clinic B). The table below gives the time (in minutes) that it took each patient to see the doctor for the two clinics Clinic A 26 15 30 19 23 35 Clinic B 20 20 22 30 28 22 Clinic B claims that they have shorter wait times than Clinic A and are more consistent in the wait times. Using your best judgement do you think this claim is correct? Why or why not?

Shannon is a graduate student studying health economics. One of her projects was to study the effects of tobacco product taxation on the frequency of smoking among college students. She hypothesized that the taxation would decrease the frequency of smoking. Using a survey analysis and a known frequency in a recently reported publication, she conducted a hypothesis test to determine if students were less likely to smoke if the tax rate went up by $0.25 per cigarette pack. She used...
