A mаnufаcturing engineer is evаluating whether a surface‑finishing prоcess has altered the mean thickness оf a prоtective coating.Target (historical) mean thickness: μ₀ = 125 micronsA random sample of 12 components is collected after the process change.The engineer performs a two‑tailed one‑sample t‑test using statistical software.The software output is shown below.Software Output (MINITAB‑Style)One-Sample T: Coating ThicknessTest of mu = 125 vs not = 125Variable          N     Mean     StDev    SE Mean       95% CI          T-Value   DF   P-ValueThickness      12   128.4       4.1           1.18      (125.8, 131.0)       4.68        11     0.015Based only on the output above, select the best statistical conclusion.
