| 10.59 A hospital conducted a study of the waiting time in its |
| emergency room. The hospital has a main campus and three |
| satellite locations. Management had a business objective of |
| reducing waiting time for emergency room cases that did not |
| require immediate attention. To study this, a random sample of |
| 15 emergency room cases that did not require immediate attention |
| at each location were selected on a particular day, and |
| the waiting times (measured from check-in to when the patient |
| was called into the clinic area) were collected and stored |
| in ERWaiting . |
| a. | At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference |
| in the mean waiting times in the four locations? |
| b. | If appropriate, determine which locations differ in mean |
| waiting time. |
| c. | At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference |
| in the variation in waiting time among the four locations? |
