Question

Jane is interested in knowing if people spend more time per week reading than watching television. She asked 10 people and is using this data as a sample.

Her hypotheses are:

HO : µ1 ≥ µ2

HA : µ1 < µ2

µ1 is the average amount of time spent reading and µ2 is the average amount of time spent watching television.

The sample statistics are:

Reading Watching TV

Sample Mean, x 4.8                              5.5
Sample Standard Deviation, s                 5.47                           2.41
Sample Size, n 10                               10

Solve this confidence interval or hypothesis test problem, using significance level a=0.05

Make sure that you use appropriate terminology and specify whether you are using the classical method or the p-value method.
