In a certain city, the population mean commute time to work was reported as 30 minutes. The director of human resources for a certain company in the city claimed the mean commute time for the

company's employees was greater than 30 minutes. The director surveyed 35 randomly selected employees and found that their mean commute time was 31.4 minutes. With all conditions for
inference met, a hypothesis test conducted at the significance level a = 0.05 resulted in a p-value of 0.381
Which of the following is an appropriate conclusion?

Answer:

Answer.The director does not have convincing statistical evidence to conclude that the population mean commute time is greater than 30 minutes.

Because the p value is very high and higher than level of significance ,so we fail to reject null hypothesis.
