Confidence Interval & Hypothesis Testing for a Single Population

Dominick Aldo owns and operates Carolina’s which is an Italian restaurant in New York. The file Single Population.xlsx is shown below and contains the amount of time that 90 tables were seated.

1. Develop a 90% confidence interval for this random sample and interpret the results.
2. Test the hypothesis that the average table time exceeds 98 minutes using α=.05.
3. What is the p-value? Interpret the results.

Be sure that your project shows the following steps

1. Null and alternative hypothesis
2. Determine which distribution to use for the test statistic.
3. Using data provided, calculate necessary sample statistics.
4. Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.

Answer 1

A.

b)

(5) Conclusion

It is concluded that the null hypothesis Ho is not rejected. Therefore, there is not enough evidence to claim that the  average table time exceeds 98 minutes , at the 0.05 significance level.
