The information below contains the waiting times in minutes
The information below contains the waiting times in minutes for 15 randomly selected patients at a hospital main emergency room facility and at three satellite facilities.

if appropriate, determine which locations differ in mean waiting time?
Solution
From given information of main,three satellites
First we will see mean of main,
=(120.08+81.90+78.79+63.83+79.77+47.94+79.88+48.63+55.43+64.06+64.99+53.82+62.43+65.07+81.02)/15
=69.84
Now we see mean of satellites1,
=(30.75+61.83+26.40+53.84+72.30+53.09+27.67+52.46+10.64+53.50+37.28+34.31+66.00+8.99+29.75)/15
=41.25
Now we see mean of satellites2,
=(75.86+37.88+68.73+51.08+50.21+58.47+86.29+62.90+44.84+64.17+50.68+47.97+60.57+58.37+30.40)/15
=56.56
Now we see mean of satellites 3,
=(54.05+38.82+36.85+32.83+52.94+34.13+69.37+68.52+55.95+49.61+66.40+74.06+11.37+83.51+39.17)/15
=51.17
Here locations at main and satellite 1 differ in mean waiting time
