In a sample of 500 students, the average amount of time they spent watching tv each day was 2.9 hrs with standard deviation .8 hrs. In a sample of 450 non-students, the average amount of time watching tv each day was 3.2 hrs with standard deviation 1.5 hours. At the 95% confidence level, do non-students (on average) watch more tv than students?

QUESTION 5 In order to determine how many hours per week freshmen college students watch television, a random sample of 256 students was selected. It was determined that the students in the sample spent an average of 14 hours with a standard deviation of 3.6 hours watching TV per week. a. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate for the average number of hours that all college freshmen spend watching TV per week. Assume that a sample of 66 students was...

3. In order to determine how many hours per week freshmen college students watch television, a random sample of 25 students was selected. It was determined that the students in the sample spent an average of 19.5 hours with a sample standard deviation of 3.9 hours watching TV per week. Please answer the following questions: (a) Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate for the average number of hours that all college freshmen spend watching TV per week. (b)...
A sample of 100 consumers shows that the average amount spent annually on a debit card is $8000. And assume that the population standard deviation of debit card expenditure is $500. Construct a 95% confidence interval of the population mean amount spent annually on a debit card.
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...
a randomly selected sample of 50 students spent on average an amount $36 on a date with a standard deviation of $5, what is the standard error of the sample mean?
A random sample of 225 full time students at a large two-year college is taken to estimate the amount they spent on text books this semester. The sampled students spent an average of $200 with a standard deviation of $75. Thus, a 95% confidence interval for the average amount spent by all full time students at that school would be: Group of answer choices $200 ± $0.33 $200 ± $5 $200 ± $10 $200 ± $75
According to a 2011 report by the United States Department of Labor, civilian Americans spend 2.75 hours per day watching television. A faculty researcher, Dr. Sameer, at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) conducts a study to see whether a different average applies to Cal Poly students. Suppose that for a random sample of 100 Cal Poly students, the mean and standard deviation of hours per day spent watching TV turns out to be 3.01 and 1.97 hours, respectively. 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...
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 following 99% confidence interval was obtained for µ1 - µ2 the difference between the mean amount of time spent watching television for women and the mean amount of time spent watching...
At one school, in 2005, the average amount of time that tenth-graders spent watching television each week was 21.6 hours. The principal introduced a campaign to encourage the students to watch less television. One year later, in 2006, the principal performed a hypothesis test to determine whether the average amount of time spent watching television per week had decreased. The hypotheses are: H0: μ ≥ 21.6 hours Ha: μ < 21.6 hours where μ is the mean amount of time,...
