In 1990, the average duration of long-distance telephone calls originating in one town was 9.4 9.4 minutes. A long-distance telephone company wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average duration of long-distance phone calls has changed from the 1990 mean of 9.4 9.4 minutes. The mean duration for a random sample of 50 calls originating in the town was 8.6 8.6 minutes. Does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean call duration, μ \mu , is different from the 1990 mean of 9.4 9.4 minutes? Perform the appropriate hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.01 0.01 . Assume that σ=4.8 \sigma=4.8 minutes.


A) With a z z of 1.2 -1.2 there is sufficient eridence to conclude that the mean value has changed from the 1990 mean of 9.4 9.4 minutes.
B) With a P-value of 0.2302 0.2302 there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean value is less than the 1990 mean of 9.4 9.4 minutes.
