Question

Question # 2. Your local pizza chain claims that the delivery time of their pizzas is normally distributed with a mean of 30 minutes.
Twenty of your friends in different locations order pizzas. The average delivery time is 42 minutes and the standard deviation is 10 minutes. Significance level (a=0.05)
Is there any difference of the pizzas delivery time between the sample average and company's claim?

Explanation / Answer

15.H0: µH = 30
16.Ha: µH == 30
17.standard error of the mean=s/n=10/sqrt(20)= 2.236

18.test statistic is t=(42-30)/2.236= 5.366

19. the critical t value= t(a=0.025, df=n-1=9)=2.26 (check student t table)
20. test statistic is t=(42-30)/2.236= 5.366 > 2.26, reject Ho.
21.The sample mean is significantly different from the population mean.
22.lower limit of the 95% confidence interval = xbar - {t(0.05, df=9)=1.83}*s/n

=42 - 1.83*2.236 = 37.90812

23.Upper limit of the 95% confidence interval = 42 + 1.83*2.236=46.09188
24.no
25.yes
26.yes
27.no
