Question

A local eat-in pizza restaurant wants to investigate the possibility of starting to deliver pizzas. The owner of the store has determined that home delivery will be successful only if the average time spent on a delivery does not exceed 38 minutes. The owner has randomly selected 27 customers and delivered pizzas to their homes. What hypotheses should the owner test to demonstrate that the pizza delivery will not be successful

Answer 1

Answer:

Read step by step explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The owner already knows that the limit for the average time delivered pizzas is 38 minutes. So we conclude

1.-The resulting mean from sample data ( x ) ( 27 customers) need to be smaller than 38 minutes, any value of sample above 38 minutes means more time for the delivery action and will indicate a failure for the future project

2.-As sample size is smaller than 30 the test has to be  t-student one tail test to the left

Test hypothesis

Null hypothesis                       H₀                  x  = 38

Alternative hypothesis           Hₐ                  x  <  38

We should test at a significance level α  = 0,05       (α = 5%)

If the result of the test is to accept  H₀  delivery project won´t be implemented, if on the other hand, H₀ is rejected then in the condition of the alternative hypothesis we accept Hₐ the sample indicates that we have a smaller average time than 38 minutes.
