A bank with a branch located in a commercial district of a city has the business objective of improving the process for serving customers during the noon-to-1 pm lunch period. To do so, the waiting time (defined as the number of minutes that elapses from when the customer enters the line until he or she reaches the teller window) needs to be shortened to increase customer satisfaction. A random sample of 15 customers is selected and the waiting times are recorded. Suppose that another branch, located in a residential area, is also concerned with the noon-to-1 pm lunch period. A random sample of 15 customers is selected and the waiting times are recorded.
1. Is there evidence of a difference in the variability of the waiting times between the two branches? (Use ? = 0.05.)
2. Determine the p-value for the test in part (1) above.
3. What assumptions about the distribution of waiting times for each branch is necessary for the test you conducted in part (1) to be valid?
4. Conduct an appropriate test to compare the mean waiting times of the two branches. Report the p-value of this test and state your conclusions.

An entrepreneur opened a small hardware store in a street mall. During the first few weeks, the business was slow with the store averaging only one customer arrived every 20 minutes. Assume that the random arrival of customers is Poisson distributed.
(a) What is the probability that exactly 5 customers arrive during
one-hour period?
(b) If the average revenue from each customer is USD 12, what is
the probability that the entrepreneur’s hourly earnings are at
least USD 24?
(c) If the hardware shop is open for 8 hours, what is the
entrepreneurs mean daily earnings if each customer were to spend on
average about USD 12.
