A Local Medical Center Has Advertised That the Mean Wait

question 23

True/False

A local medical center has advertised that the mean wait for services will be less than 15 minutes. In an effort to test whether this claim can be substantiated, a random sample of 100 customers was selected and their wait times were recorded. The mean wait time was 17.0 minutes. Based on this sample result, there is sufficient evidence to reject the medical center's claim.
