You are the manager of a restaurant that delivers pizza to college dormitory rooms. You have just changed your delivery process in an effort to reduce the mean time between the order and completion of delivery from the current 25 minutes. A sample of 36 orders using the new delivery process yields a sample mean of 22.4 minutes and a sample standard deviation of 6 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test to see whether there is evidence that the population mean delivery time has been reduced below the previous population mean value of 25 minutes. a. State your null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. b. Perform the test manually using critical value approach at the 0.05 level of significance. c. What is your conclusion?
