One of the town council members believes that the two fire stations have different mean response times. Do you agree? Why? Use a significance level of 0.05 and the p-value to make your decision. Again, the data for both stations has been re-copied for convenience. Northern: 3,4,4,5,5,5,5,5, 6, 6, 6, 6,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10 Southern: 4,5,5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9,9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 12, 12, 12, 12 Answer in the blanks to show the work associated with exploring this claim. To explore the suspicion above, conduct a significance test using the hypotheses: H : Mi = M2HA: Mi ------M2 Blank #1: Determine the correct alternative hypothesis by filling in the blank with <, > or not equals. Blank #2: Report the test statistic to two decimal places

Blank #2: Report the test statistic to two decimal places Blank #3: Report the p-value to four decimal places Blank #4: Give the test decision: (reject or do not reject) H0 Blank #5: Evidence _(favors or does not favor) that there is a difference in mean response times of the two fire stations
