Q: With individual lines at its various windows, a post office finds that the standard deviation for normally distributed waiting times for customers is 7.2 minutes. The post office experiments with a single, main waiting line and finds that for a random sample of 25 customers the waiting times for customers have a standard deviation of 4.5 minutes. At the 5% significance level, determine if the single line changed the variation among the wait times for customers.
