| Objective: |
| Two individual staff members were being observed performing identical activities in the Doctor’s office. 25 random samples were taken for each staff member. One of the Medical Assistants is a new employee. Medical Assistant #1 has been with Dr. Deasley for several years. Medical Assistant #2 is a new employee and has been with this medical practice for 9 months. We want to determine how Assistant 2 performs when compared to Medical Assistant #1. Since she is a new employee |
| Use a Two Sample T-test to determine if the process performance is influenced by the Assistant performing the tasks |
| The historical mean for Medical Assistant #1 was .0126 (Assume that the distributions are sufficiently similar for this analysis) |
| APPENDIX E: Data represents 25 process observations for Medical Assistant #2 |

| Instructions for you: |
| 1. Using the data provided, calculate the T Test statistic value (Assume data from sample 1 is sufficiently similar to sample 2) |
| 2. Using the Critical Value for a TWO tailed t-test, look up the Critical Value (df = n-1) | assume a Level of Significance value of 0.05) |
| 3. State your statistical conclusion (do we accept or reject the Null hypothesis?) |
| 4. Based on this analysis, what can we conclude about the influence different Medical Assistants have on the process? |
