From past experiences, it can be assumed that the population standard deviation is 1.2minutes. By selecting a sample of 25orders during the last one hour, the sample mean is 5.1minutes. (i) Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate for the population mean waiting time (ii) Using the six-step method of hypothesis testing, determine whether there is evidence that the population mean waiting time to place an order has changed in the past month from its previous population mean value of 4.5minutes.
