Question

Transcribed Image Text:A national grocer's magazine reports the typical shopper spends 5.5 minutes in line waiting to check out. A sample of 23 shoppers at
the local Farmer Jack's showed a mean of 5.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.1 minutes.
Is the waiting time at the local Farmer Jack's less than that reported in the national magazine? Use the 0.010 significance level.
a. What is the decision rule? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Reject H0: u 2 5.5 and fail to reject H1: µ < 5.5 when the test statistic is
b. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal
places.)
Value of the test statistic
