A local bank has two branches in a cty: one in the business center of the city and another-in a residential area. The bank's operations manager wants to
Improve front-office employee scheduling during the lunch hour (12:00-13:00) period. The manager starts with studying the customer walting times at the two
branches and collects data for two groups of 35 customers at each branch. Customers at the business-center branch walted on average 3.8 minutes, whle
those at the residential branch waited 4.4 minutes on average, Assume that the population standard deviations are 1.8 (business-center branch) and 2.5
tresidential branch).

The dataset below was collected from a survey to determine whether CFT development in the island can be used as a strategy for the sustainable management and utilization of the fishery and aquatic resources in small islands. It shows the monthly income (in thousand pesos) estimated by 200 randomly selected fishers in Guimaras according to the type of fishers (i.e., the income source of fishers is solely fishing or they have alternative/supplemental livelihood such as island hopping services, sari-sari store ownership, fish value adding and/or vending, souvenir selling, carpentry, as construction worker, farming and tour guiding) and their perceived benefit from CFT development in the island.
From this dataset and using = 0.05, is there a significant difference in estimated monthly income due tofisher type? How about due to the CFT perceived benefit? How about due to the interaction between fishertype and the perceived CFT benefit?a. Analyze manually and assume that the…

The dataset includes, among others, the values of the silver content of nine coins from the first coinage (variable Coin1) and fourth coinage (variable Coin4) which was produced a number of years later. it was argued that the silver contents in both the first and the fourth coinages can be assumed to be normally distributed. The question of interest is whether there were differences in the silver content of coins minted early and late in Manuel's reign.
