One-Sample Test of Hypothesis

CadSoft, a producer of computer-aided design software for the aerospace


industry receives numerous calls for technical support. In the past, the average
response time has been at least 25 minutes. The company has upgraded its
information systems and believes that this will help reduce response time. As a
result, it believes that the average response time can be reduced to less than 25
minutes. The company collected a sample of 44 response times in the attached
Excel file CadSoft.
