Question

A problem with a telephone line that prevents a customer from receiving or making calls is upsetting to both the customer and the telephone company. The Sheet 8 contains 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: test the Null hypothesis that the time to clear the problem doesn't significantly differ across to centers at the 0.03 level.
