Each day a commuter takes a bus to work, the transportation system has a phone app that tells her what time the bus will arrive. She feels the app is often wrong, either making her late or missing the bus all together. For 6 weeks, the rider randomly picks four times a week to measure if the bus was off from the estimated arrival time at her stop to work (n =24). Each measurement is Actual Arrival Time – App Estimated Time. If the bus was early, she recorded the number as a negative time difference. If the bus was on time, she recorded it as a positive time difference. From her sample, the average time difference of arrival versus the app is 0.77 minutes. For ease she assumes the population is normal and the standard deviation is . If the bus app is consistently accurate than the overall average should be close to zero.

State: Is there evidence that the average time between actual arrival time and the bus app time is more than 0 minutes?
