Column 1: call number for Cambridge calls
Column 2: time in minutes for fire truck to arrive
Column 3: time in minutes for the fire truck to arrive
Column 4: call number for Kitchener calls
Column 5: time in minutes for the the ambulance to arrive
Column 6: time in minutes for fire truck to arrive
Column 7: call number for Waterloo calls:
Column 8: time in minutes for the ambulance
Column 9: time in minutes for fire truck to arrive

It has been decided that the training of fire department personnel is warranted only if it can be shown that a fire truck arrives at the scene on average more than 1 minute sooner than an ambulance and that the frequency of arrival within 8 minutes is greater for the fire department.

What conclusions can be drawn from the data?
