a) What is the t-observed for the difference between the means?
b) What is the p-value
c) Based on the p-value and alpha, is there a statistically significant difference between the number of hours males and females watch television?
TOPIC:Two sample(independent) t-test for the difference between two population means.

Do female college students spend more time than male college students watching TV? This was one of the questions investigated by the authors of an article. Each student in a random sample of 46 male students at a university in England and each student in a random sample of 38 female students from the same university kept a diary of how he or she spent time over a three-week period. For the sample of males, the mean time spent watching...
Question 17 4 pts A researcher was interested in comparing the amount of time spent watching television by women and by men. Independent simple random samples of 14 women and 17 men were selected, and each person was asked how many hours he or she had watched television during the previous week. The summary statistics are shown in the chart below. The following 99% confidence interval was obtained for the difference between the mean amount of time spent watching television...

In the 2016 General Social Survey, subjects reported the time spent every day watching television. Men reported watching an average of 5.3 hours per day and women reported watching an average of 4.1 hours per day. The difference in means is 1.2 and the associated standard error of the difference is .191. (a) If you hypothesize that men and women’s average amount of television per day differs significantly, set up the null and alternative hypotheses for a significance test. (b)...
Watching TV: In 2012, the General Social Survey asked a sample of 1326 people how much time they spent watching TV each day. The mean number of hours was 3.02 with a standard deviation of 2.64. 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 differs from the claim? Use the a=0.01 level of significance and the...
Reconsider Dr. Sameer's research question about how much time Cal Poly students spend on watching television. Suppose that for the random sample of 100 Cal Poly students the mean number of hours per day spent watching TV turns out to be 3.01 hours, and the standard deviation of the number of hours per day spent watching TV turns out to be 1.97 hours. Is the number 1.97 a parameter or a statistic? Assign an appropriate symbol to this number. Find...
Watching TV: In 2012, the General Social Survey asked a sample of 1330 people how much time they spent watching TV each day. The mean number of hours was 3.05 with a standard deviation of 2.70. 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 more than the claim? Use the a=0.10 level of significance and...
A college student is interested in whether there is a
difference between male and female students in the amount of time
they spend studying each week. The student gathers information from
a random sample of male and female students on campus. The amounts
of time spent studying are normally distributed. The following
includes the data and the questions.
Males Females 27 25 25 9 10 16 22 14. a. What statistical test should be used to analyze these data? b....
Watching TV: The 2012 general Social Survey asked a large number of people how much time they spent watching TV each day. The mean number of hours was 3.09 with a standard deviation of 2.72. Assume that in a sample of 34 teenagers, the sample standard deviation of daily TV time is 1.9 hours, and that the population of TV watching times is normally distributed. Can you conclude that the population standard deviation of TV watching times for teenagers differs...
