At the .05 significance level, is it reasonable to conclude that the mean time in the lot is more than 15 minutes?

Step 1/5
Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Null hypothesis (H0): μ = 15 minutes Alternative hypothesis (H1): μ > 15 minutes

Step 2/5
Step 2: Calculate the sample mean and standard deviation. Sample mean (x̄) = (30 + 24 + 28 + 22 + 14 + 2 + 39 + 23 + 23 + 28 + 12 + 31) / 12 = 274 / 12 = 22.83 minutes
Sample standard deviation (s) = √[(Σ(x - x̄)²) / (n - 1)] = √[(7.17² + 0.17² + 5.17² + 0.83² + 8.83² + 20.83² + 16.17² + 0.17² + 0.17² + 5.17² + 10.83² + 8.17²) / (12 - 1)] = √[1029.5 / 11] =
9.63 minutes

Step 3/5
Step 3: Calculate the test statistic. t = (x̄ - μ) / (s / √n) = (22.83 - 15) / (9.63 / √12) = 7.83 / 2.78 = 2.82

Step 4/5
Step 4: Determine the critical value. Since we are using a one-tailed test with a significance level of 0.05 and 11 degrees of freedom (n - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11), we can find the
critical value from a t-distribution table. The critical value is 1.796.

Answer
Step 5: Compare the test statistic to the critical value. Since the test statistic (2.82) is greater than the critical value (1.796), we reject the null
hypothesis. Conclusion: At the 0.05 significance level, it is reasonable to conclude that the mean time in the cell phone parking lot is more than
15 minutes.
