An industriаl engineering teаm redesigned а wоrkstatiоn layоut to reduce average assembly cycle time for a high‑volume product. Historically, the mean assembly time for this task is μ=12.0minutes per unit. After implementing the new layout, a random sample of 64 units is observed. The sample mean cycle time is x=11.2minutes. From prior studies, the population standard deviation of assembly time is known to be σ=1.6minutes. Management believes the new layout reduces average cycle time, meaning the population mean should be less than 12 minutes.At a significance level of α=0.05, a one‑sample z‑test  was performed using statistical software to determine whether the data provide sufficient evidence that the redesigned workstation reduces the average assembly time. The output is shown below.Software Output (MINITAB)One-Sample Z: Cycle timeTest of mu = 12 vs < 12The assumed standard deviation = 1.6Variable         N    Mean    StDev   SE Mean      95% Upper Bound     Z-Value   P-ValueCycle time     64    11.20        1.60        0.20                       11.53                  -4.00         0.00Based on the P-value method, select the best statistical conclusion for the workstation redesign.
