Question

An automobile assembly line operation has a scheduled mean completion time, u, of 13.1 minutes. The standard deviation of completion times is 1.6 minutes. It is claimed that, under new

management, the mean completion time has decreased. To test this claim, a random sample of 43 completion times under new management was taken. The sample had a mean of 12.6 minutes. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the 0.1 level of significance, the claim that the mean completion time has decreased under new management? Assume that the standard deviation of completion times has not changed.
