Yes, this sample provide enough evidence to support the delivery time claim made by the pizza place.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a pizza place recently hired additional drivers and as a result now claims that its average delivery time for orders is under 44 minutes.

A sample of 39 customer deliveries was examined, and the average delivery time was found to be 40.5 minutes. Historically, the standard deviation for delivery time is 11.3 minutes.

From this, X bar = 40.5 ,   = 11.3   , = 44   and    sample, n = 39

     Null Hypothesis, : >= 44

Alternate Hypothesis, : < 44

The test statistics used here will be;

       T.S. = ~ N(0,1)

So, Test statistics = = -1.93

Now, at 5% significance level the z score table gives critical value of -1.6449 as it is one-tail test.

Since our test statistics is less than the critical value as -1.93 < -1.6449, so we have sufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis and conclude that the average delivery time for orders is under 44 minutes.
