The length of the program was baed on the assumption that the population mean time a shopper stands in a super market checkout line is 8 minutes. A sample of actual waiting times will be used to test this assumption and determine whether actual mean waiting time differs from this standard

Furthermore a sample of 120 shoppers showed a sample mean waiting time of 8.4 minutes. Assume the population standard deviation of 3.2 minutes.
