The owner of a local chain of grocery stores is always trying to minimize the time it takes her customers to check out. In the past, she has conducted many studies of the checkout times, and they have displayed a normal distribution with a mean time of 12.6 minutes. and a standard deviation of 2 minutes. She has implemented a new schedule for cashiers in hopes of reducing the mean checkout time. A random sample of 29 customers visiting her store this week resulted in a mean of 11.4 minutes. Does she have sufficient evidence to claim the mean checkout time this week was less than 12.6 minutes? Use ? = 0.02.

(a) Find z. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

(ii) Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

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.
