Multiple Choice

 TABLE 10-14 \text { TABLE 10-14 } A problem with a telephone line that prevents a customer from receiving or making calls is disconcerting to both the customer and the telephone company. The data on samples of 20 problems reported to two different offices of a telephone company and the time to clear these problems (in minutes) from the customers' lines are collected. Below is the Excel output to see whether there is evidence of a difference in the mean waiting time between the two offices assuming that the population variances in the two offices are not equal.
