a. (10 P) What does the output tell about the equality of mean Cycle Time in two different
settings? Why? (Write the hypothesis and your conclusion)?
b. (10 P) Considering the output above, what is the number of required runs in order to
estimate a confidence interval on the true mean difference with a half-length of 0.025 min?
c. (10 P) Considering the output above, what is the required number of replications to detect
a mean Cycle Time difference of 0.25 min with a probability of 0.9 (a = 0.05)?
