Answer

$t_0=0.83$ with a P-value $\gtα$. Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the wait times are different.

Work Step by Step

$H_0:µ_{Before}=µ_{After}$ versus $H_1:µ_{Before}\neµ_{After}$ In MINITAB, enter the Wait time before new procedure values in C1 and the Wait time after new procedure values in C2. Select Stat -> Basic Statistics -> Paired t Select Each sample in a column. In Sample 1 enter C1 and in sample 2 enter C2. Click Options. In Confidence level enter 95.0, in Hypothesized difference enter 0 and in Alternative hypothesis enter Difference $\ne$ Hypothesized difference. Click OK. Click OK. $t_0=0.83$ with a P-value $=0.483\gtα=0.05$
