Employees in a large company are entitled to 15-minute water breaks. A random sample of the duration of water breaks for 10 employees was taken with the times shown as: 12, 16, 14, 18, 21, 17, 19, 15, 18, and 16. Assuming that the times are normally distributed, is there enough evidence at the 5% significance level to indicate that on average employees are taking longer water breaks than they are entitled to?

Question

Employees in a large company are entitled to 15-minute water breaks. A random sample of the duration of water breaks for 10 employees was taken with the times shown as: 12, 16, 14, 18, 21, 17, 19, 15, 18, and 16. Assuming that the times are normally distributed, is there enough evidence at the 5% significance level to indicate that on average employees are taking longer water breaks than they are entitled to?

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.
