Lecture 7 Fundamental s of Hypothesis Testing: One-Sample TestZ-Test of hypothesis for the Mean (? Known)Question 1:(Two-Tail test for the mean)You are the manager of a fast-food restaurant. You want to determine whether the waiting time to place an order has changed in last month from its previous population mean value of 4.5 minutes. From past experience, you can assume that the population standard derivation is 1.2 minutes. You selected a sample of 25 orders during a one-hour period. The sample mean is 5.1 minutes. Use the six step approach to determine whether there is evidence at the 0.05 level of significance that the mean waiting time to be place an order has changed in the last month from its previous population mean value of 4.5 minutes.Required:Answer this question by Critical Value approachAnswer this question by P-value approachAnswer to Question 1.a) by Critical Value approach:According to the passage, the appropriate null hypothesis is that the waiting mean time has not changedand alternativehypothesis is opposite, that is waiting mean time has changed and do not equal to the population mean 4.5minutesH0：minutes H1：minutesThe level of significance and the sample size n=25Assume the standard derivationand this is a Z-testFor, the critical Z value is Because: n=25, 2.5Since ZSTAT =2.51.96,reject the null hypothesis and conclude there is sufficient evidence that the meanwaiting time to be place an orderhas changed in the last month from its previous population meanis not 4.5 minutes.The waiting time is longer than that of the previous month.The Answer to question 1.b)by P-Value ApproachAccording to the passage, the appropriate null hypothesis is that the waiting mean time has not changed and alternative hypothesis is opposite, that is waiting mean time has changed and do not equal to the population mean 4.5minutesH0：minutes H1：minutesThe level of significance α=0.05 and the sample size n=25Assume the standard derivationand this is a Z-test.Becau
