The bank manager wants to show that the new system reduces typical customer
waiting times to less than 6 minutes. One way to do this is to demonstrate that the
mean of the population of all customer waiting times is less than 6. Letting this mean
be , in this exercise we wish to investigate whether the sample of 99 waiting times
provides evidence to support the claim that is less than 6.
For the sake of argument, we will begin by assuming that u equals 6, and we will
then attempt to use the sample to contradict this assumption in favor of the conclusion
that is less than 6. Recall that the mean of the sample of 99 waiting times is x = 5.39
and assume that o, the standard deviation of the population of all customer waiting
times, is known to be 2.22.
(a) Consider the population of all possible sample means obtained from random
samples of 99 waiting times. What is the shape of this population of sample means?
That is, what is the shape of the sampling distribution of x?
Normal because the sample is large
(b) Find the mean and standard deviation of the population of all possible sample
means when we assume that equals 6. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
H₁=6,0₁ =
(c) The sample mean that we have actually observed is x = 5.39. Assuming that u
equals 6, find the probability of observing a sample mean that is less than or equal
to 5.39. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
(d) If u equals 6, what percentage of all possible sample means are less than or equal
to 5.39? What do you conclude about whether the new system has reduced the
typical customer waiting time to less than 6 minutes? (Round your answer to 2
decimal places.)
%; conclude that is less
than 6.
