Stephon is an independent real estate agent and wants to check the times for his client. He took a random sample of 15 commute times and found an average of 26 minutes. He did hypothesis testing using a significance level of 5%. Which conclusion could he make?

    To calculate the z-statistic, we must first calculate the standard error.

    Standard error is standard deviation divided by the square root of the population. In this case, it is equal to 1.81.

    The z-score is defined the distance from the sample to the population mean in units of standard error.

    z = (26 - 20) / 1.81 = 3.31

    at this z-score = 0.0005 which is less than 5%
