Question

The mean inspection time, using the current method of quality control, has been found over a long period of time to be 160 seconds. Your manager decides to introduce a new method of quality control aimed at reducing this to as short as possible and so she expects the new method to produce a smaller mean. A random sample of measurement of inspection time taken after the new method had become established gave the following distribution:

Your manager thinks that the introduction of the new method of inspection has been very                                          effective in reducing the inspection time. Using the data provided and assuming the inspection time to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of 28 seconds, test this hypothesis at 5% level of significance

Follow-up Question

Can you explain how the highlighted boxes in the attached image a little better?

The T table i have, which is also attached( given the degree of freedom is 22)  gives a value of 1.717? 

Whereas you have given values of -1.64. Then a P value of 0.432? Can you explain further how you have reached these different figures?
