A certain statistics instructor participates in triathlons. The accompanying table lists times (in minutes and seconds) he recorded while riding a bicycle for five laps through each mile of a 3-mile loop. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that it takes the same time to ride each of the miles. Does one of the miles appear to have a hill? Click the icon to view the data table of the riding times. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.

You will need to convert each minute/second entry into seconds only.) X

Question
### Analysis of Riding Times in a Triathlon

#### Scenario
A statistics instructor participates in triathlons and has recorded times while riding a bicycle over five laps through each mile of a 3-mile loop. The study aims to test if it takes the same time to ride each mile using a 0.05 significance level to determine if one of the miles includes a hill.

#### Data Table: Riding Times (minutes and seconds)
- **Mile 1:** 3:15, 3:23, 3:24, 3:22, 3:20
- **Mile 2:** 3:19, 3:22, 3:21, 3:16, 3:18
- **Mile 3:** 3:33, 3:30, 3:28, 3:30, 3:28

(Note: To analyze this data with statistical software, convert each time into seconds.)

#### Hypotheses
- **Null Hypothesis (H₀):** The time to ride each mile is the same.
- **Alternative Hypothesis (H₁):** The time to ride each mile is not the same, suggesting one mile may have a hill.
