Time in a restaurant. The owner of a pizza restaurant in France knows that the time customers spend


Question: Time in a restaurant. The owner of a pizza restaurant in France knows that the time customers spend in the restaurant on Saturday evening has mean 90 minutes and standard deviation 15 minutes. He has read that pleasant odors can influence customers, so he spreads a lavender odor throughout the restaurant. Here are the times (minutes) for customers on the next Saturday evening:

92 109
126 94
114 105
106 102
89 108
137 95
93 121
76 109
98 104
108 116
124 88
105 109
129 97
103 101
107 106

(a) Make a stemplot of the times. The distribution is roughly symmetric and single-peaked, so the distribution of \(\bar{X}\) should be close to Normal.

(b) Suppose that the standard deviation \(\sigma \) = 15 minutes is not changed by the odor. Is there reason to think that the lavender odor has changed the mean time customers spend in the restaurant? Follow the four-step process for significance tests
