Basic MathResidents of Valentine, a small city in Nebraska, meet for a city
council meeting once a week. Meetings are supposed to last no more
than 3 hours. However, many residents are complaining that the
average meeting is significantly longer than 3 hours (180 minutes).
In order to test this, the lengths of the last 15 meetings were
recorded in minutes: 147.0, 155.4, 159.6, 162.6, 163.8, 165.0,
167.4, 169.2, 172.2, 172.8, 172.8, 175.8, 175.8, 196.8, 201.6. Using
this data, test the null hypothesis at the alpha=0.1 level that the
mean length of city council meetings is equal to 3 hours versus the
alternative that the average meeting length is greater than 3 hours.
Assume that the distribution of meeting lengths is normal.
What is the p-value and conclusion of this test?
p-value = 0.046; Fail to reject the null hypothesis
p-value=0.046; Reject the null hypothesis
p-value = 0.990; Fail to reject the null hypothesis
p-value = 0.990; Reject the null hypothesis
