TopicHypothesis test of a normal distribution

14 It is known that a hospital has a mean waiting time of 4 hours for its Accident and Emergency (A\&E) patients. After some new initiatives were introduced, a random sample of 12 patients from the hospital's A\&E Department had the following waiting times, in hours.
4.253.904.153.954.204.15
5.003.854.254.053.803.95
Carry out a hypothesis test at the \(10 \%\) significance level to investigate whether the mean waiting time at this hospital's A\&E department has changed. You may assume that the waiting times are normally distributed with standard deviation 0.8 hours.
