Step 1 :Given in the problem: \(\bar{X} = 95\) sec, \(\mu = 0\) sec, \(\sigma = 240\) sec, and \(n = 55\).
Step 2 :We use the formula for the test statistic in a hypothesis test for a population mean: \(Z = \frac{\bar{X} - \mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}\).
Step 3 :Substitute the given values into the formula: \(Z = \frac{95 - 0}{240/\sqrt{55}} = \frac{95}{240/\sqrt{55}}\).
Step 4 :Calculate the above expression to get the test statistic: \(Z \approx 1.41\).
Step 5 :Next, we need to find the P-value. The P-value is the probability that a Z-score is more extreme than the observed Z-score of 1.41, assuming the null hypothesis is true.
Step 6 :Since this is a two-tailed test, we need to find the two-tailed P-value. Looking up the Z-score of 1.41 in a standard normal distribution table or using a calculator, we find that the one-tailed P-value is approximately 0.0793.
Step 7 :Since this is a two-tailed test, we double this value to get the two-tailed P-value: \(P-value = 2 * 0.0793 = 0.1586\).
Step 8 :Finally, we compare the P-value to the significance level. The significance level is 0.02, and our P-value is 0.1586.
Step 9 :Since the P-value is greater than the significance level, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
Step 10 :\(\boxed{\text{There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean is equal to 0.}}\)
