Answer to Question 1

a. H0:  < 87 hours
Ha:  > 87 hours
b. 1.00
c. Since z = 1 < 2.33, do not reject H0
d. p-value = .1587 > .01; therefore do not reject H0 and conclude that there is insufficient evidence to support the management's belief.
e. p-value = .1587 > .05; therefore, do not reject H0; no evidence to support the management's belief using the 5 level of significance.
