Question

Watching TV: In 2012, the General Social Survey asked a sample of 1328 people how much time they spent watching TV each day. The mean number of hours was 3.03 with a standard deviation of 2.68. A sociologist claims that people watch a mean of 3 hours of TV per day. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean hours of TV watched per day is greater than the claim? Use the =α0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. Part: 0 / 40 of 4

(a) State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. H0: H1: This hypothesis test is a ▼(Choose one)( right tail, left tail, or two tailed) test.

b.Compute theP-value. Round the P- value to at least four decimal places.

P-value__??

C. Determine whether to rejectH0

(Reject OR do not reject hypothesis) the null hypothesisH0

D. State a conclusion. There is or is not enough information to support claim

Answer 1

Solution:

a)

H₀ : = 3

H₁ : > 3

This hypothesis test is a right tail

Calculate

Output:

t = -1.537

p = 0.3417

P-value = 0.3417

C)

do not reject the null hypothesis H0

D)

There is not enough information to support claim.
