Assuming. X is normally distributed on average he was stuck for u=20 minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "A random selection of five days showed the delay to have a mean =15.2 minutes with a sample deviation of 6.3 minutes. Does this mean the delay is now shorter?
\n" ); document.write( "Use significant level .05.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Ho: u >= 20
\n" ); document.write( "Ha: u < 20 (claim)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Since sample deviation = 6.3, std = 6.3*sqrt(5) = 14.09
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "z(15.2) = (15.2-20)/14.09 = -0.34
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "p-value = P(z < -0.34) = normalcdf(-100,-0.34) = 0.63
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Conclusion:: Since the p-value is greater than 0.05, fail
