The wait times (in seconds) for fast food service at two burger companies were recorded for quality assurance. Using the sample data below, find the following for each sample:

Range
Standard deviation
Variance

Lastly, compare the two sets of results.

Company	Wait times in seconds
Big Burger Company	105	67	78	120	175	115	120	59
The Cheesy Burger	133	124	200	79	101	147	118	125

Expert Solution

Let x be wait times in seconds for Big Burger Company

and y be wait times in seconds for the Cheesy Burger company.

n = 8

x			y
105	0.125	0.015625	133	4.625	21.39063
67	-37.875	1434.516	124	-4.375	19.14063
78	-26.875	722.2656	200	71.625	5130.141
120	15.125	228.7656	79	-49.375	2437.891
175	70.125	4917.516	101	-27.375	749.3906
115	10.125	102.5156	147	18.625	346.8906
120	15.125	228.7656	118	-10.375	107.6406
59	-45.875	2104.516	125	-3.375	11.39063

For Big Burger company,

Range = Largest observation - smallest observation

= 175 - 59

= 116

Range = 116

Variance:

(Round to 4 decimal)

Variance = 1391.2679

Standard deviation

s = 37.2997 (Round to 4 decimal)

Standard deviation = 37.2997

For the Cheesy Burger company,

Range = Largest observation - smallest observation

= 200 - 79

= 121

Range = 121

Variance:

(Round to 4 decimal)

Variance = 1260.5536

Standard deviation:

s = 35.5043 (Round to 4 decimal)

Standard deviation = 35.5043

Here Variance of Big Burger company is greater than variance of Cheesy Burger company.

That means the data set Big Burger company has more spread than Cheesy Burger company.

The accompanying data are drive-through service times (seconds) recorded at a fast-food restaurant during dinner times....

The accompanying data are drive-through service times (seconds) recorded at a fast-food restaurant during dinner times. Assuming that dinner service times at the restaurant's competitor have standard deviation σ = 61.4sec, use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that service times at the restaurant have the same variation as service times at its competitor's restaurant. Use the accompanying data to identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, and P-value. Then state a conclusion about the null hypothesis....

Times (in seconds) for the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke were recorded for three top swimmers on a university swim team: 46.17 and 50.05; 46.72 and 50.22; 46.89 and 52.95. (a) Assuming these to be representative samples of all top swimmers' times for the two events, use software to produce a 95% confidence interval for the mean of the time differences, freestyle minus backstroke, for the two events

For python! You walk into a fast food restaurant and order fries, a burger, and a drink. Create a simple text based user interactive program keeps track of the menu items you order. Use a dictionary to keep track of your menu items and price and another dictionary to keep track of your order and quantity.  Fries are $3.50  Burger are $5.00  Drinks are $1.00  Sales tax rate is 7.25% menu = { "burger":5.00, "fries":3.50, "drink":1.00...

Sparagowski & Associates conducted a study of service times at the drive-up window of fast-food restaurants. The average time between placing an order and receiving the order at McDonald's restaurants was 2.78 minutes (The Cincinnati Enquirer, July 9, 2000). Waiting times, such as these, frequently follow an exponential distribution. 1. What is the probability that a customer's service time is less than 2 minutes? 2. What is the probability that a customer's service time is more than 5 minutes? 3....

There are two fast food burger chains near your house. You want to determine which one has the shortest wait times. The last ten times you went to “Dan’s Diner,” the wait times were: 12, 13, 13, 16, 17, 19, 19, 20, 22, 24 (minutes) You then call the statistician for “Burger Barn” and he tells you the following: “Our mean wait time is 19 minutes, with a standard deviation of 1.65 minutes. Here is our 5-number summary: {12, 18,...

Consider a sample of nine wait times measured in seconds at a drive through coffee shop. The sample mean is 95 and the sample standard deviation is 23.516. The population mean and standard deviation are 100 and 20 respectively. (1) What is the size of the sampling error in this case? (3) What is the probability that the average wait time would be less than 80 seconds? (3) What is the probability that the average wait time would be more...
