Question

An automobile assembly line operation has a scheduled mean completion time, μ, of 12.8 minutes. The standard deviation of completion times is 1.7 minutes. It is claimed that, under new management, the mean completion time has decreased. To test this claim, a random sample of 14completion times under new management was taken. The sample had a mean of 11.7 minutes. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the mean completion time has decreased under new management? Assume that the standard deviation of completion times has not changed. Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table below.

The null hypothesis:	H0:
The alternative hypothesis:	H1:
The type of test statistic:	(Choose one) Z t Chisquare F

The value of the test statistic: (Round to at least three decimal places.)
The p-value: (Round to at least three decimal places.)
Can we support the claim that the mean completion time has decreased under new management?	Yes	No

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
