A chain of hamburger restaurants claims that the population mean of the wait times in their drive-thru for all customers is 4.52 minutes. You work for a competitor and you want to test that claim. To do so, you select a random sample of 40 of the chain's drive-thru customers and record the wait time in the drive-thru for each. Assume it is known that the population standard deviation of the wait times in the drive-thru for the hamburger chain's restaurants is 2.91 minutes. Based on your sample, follow the steps below to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean of the wait times in the drive-thru for all customers. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the restaurant chain's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a)Click on "Take Sample" to see the results from your random sample of 40 customers. Take Sample Number of customers Sample mean Sample standard deviation 40 4.69 2.76 Population standard deviation 2.91 Enter the values of the sample size, the point estimate for the population mean, the population standard deviation, and the critical value you need for your 95% confidence interval. (Choose the correct critical value from the table of critical values provided.) When you are done, select "Compute Based on your sample, graph the 95% confidence interval for the population mean of the wait times in the drive-thru for all customers. Does the 95% confidence interval you constructed contradict the restaurant chain's claim? Choose the best answer from the choices below.
