1. Problem Statement Is there a significant difference between the two brands of photocopying machines’ mean repair time? 2. Hypotheses Ho: There is no significant difference between the two brands of photocopying machines’ mean repair time. Ha: There is a significant difference between the two brands of photocopying machines’ mean repair time. 3. Choice of test statistic and α:: T–test of two independent samples, α =0.05.=0.05. 4. Computation T – Value = - 2. P – Value = 0. 5. Decision Rule & Finding Decision Rule: Reject Ho if level of significance (α) > p-value α =0.05.) > p-value Finding: α =0.05.(α) > p-value0.05) > p-value (α) > p-value0.036) 6. Decision Reject the null (α) > p-valueHo) hypothesis 7. Interpretation and Analysis There is a significant difference between mean repair time of the two brands of photocopying machines. Brand A outperformed Brand B as can be
2 | P a g e o f 2 observed from the given mean repair time where Brand B was repaired more often at 91.6 times than Brand A at 84.2 times posing a 7.4 times difference.
8. Implications The significant difference between the mean repair times of two brands may be attributed to various factors. It may be because of the make and model of the two brands. The working conditions could also be consider to the wear and tear of the equipment and lastly, the manpower utilizing these photocopying machine machines. 9. Conclusion Brand A is better than brand B.
