Question

A report states that adults 18- to 24- years-old send and receive 128 texts every day. Suppose we take a sample of 25- to 34- year-olds to see if their mean number of daily texts differs from the mean for 18- to 24- year-olds.

A. State the null and alternative hypotheses we should use to test whether the population mean daily number of texts for 25- to 34-year-olds differs from the population daily mean number of texts for 18- to 24-year-olds. (Enter != for ≠ as needed.)

B. Suppose a sample of thirty 25- to 34-year-olds showed a sample mean of 118.7 texts per day. Assume a population standard deviation of 33.17 texts per day.

Compute the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

C.

Repeat the preceding hypothesis test using the critical value approach.

State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Enter != for ≠ as needed.)

H₀:

H_a:

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

State the critical values for the rejection rule. (Use α = 0.05. Round your answer to two decimal places. If the test is one-tailed, enter NONE for the unused tail.)
