Trying to encourage people to stop driving to campus, the university claims that on average it takes people 30 minutes to find a parking space on campus. I don’t think it takes so long to find a spot. In fact, I have a sample of the last five times I drove to campus, and I calculated the sample mean = 25. Assuming that the time it takes to find a parking spot is normal, and that σ = 6 minutes, find the lowest level of significance at which the null hypothesis that it takes 30 minutes to find a parking space on campus can be rejected against the alternative that it takes less time.   thanks in advance.

  1. Trying to encourage people to stop driving to campus, the university claims that on average it takes people 30 minutes to find a parking space on campus. I don’t think it takes so long to find a spot. In fact, I have a sample of the last five times I drove to campus, and I calculated the sample mean = 25.
