Nationally the population as a whole watches an average of 6.2 hours of television a day. A random sample of 150 senior citizens report watching an average of 6.1 hours per day. Assume a population standard deviation of 0.7 hours. Is this sufficient evidence to conclude that the amount of television that senior citizens watch on average is different than 6.2 hours? Use alpha=.05

Suppose that the average person watches 6.25 hours of television per day with a standard deviation of 2.75 hours. Assuming television viewing is normally distributed, what percentage of people watch over 10 hours of television per day?
Suppose a study reported that the average person watched 4.35 hours of television per day. A random sample of 15 people gave the number of hours of television watched per day shown. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the amount of television watched per day last year by the average person differed from the value reported in the study? (Note: x overbarequals3.947 hours and sequals1.499 hours.) 3.0 3.4 6.2 2.4 4.1 2.5...
Suppose a study reported that the average person watched 5.39 hours of television per day. A random sample of 15 people gave the number of hours of television watched per day shown. At the 11% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the amount of television watched per day last year by the average person differed from the value reported in the study? (Note: x overbarxequals=3.933 hours and sequals=1.645 hours.) 1.9 6.3 2.0 4.1 3.4 5.6...
According to a recent study, the population of U.S. citizens spend, on average, 30 hours per week watching television, with a standard deviation of 5.25 hours. If a random sample of n = 36 consumers is drawn from this population, what is the probability that the sample mean will be no more than 29.3 hours per week?
You see an article that claims that Americans spend an average of 5 hours per day watching television with a standard deviation of 1 hour. a. Draw the distribution. b. Find the probability that a randomly selected person spends between 3 and 5 hours watching television. c. Find the percentage of people who spend more than 6 hours watching television. d. If a person is in the top 2.5%, what is the minimum amount of time that the person is...
A father is concerned that his teenage son is watching too much television each day, since his son watches an average of 2 hours per day. His son says that his TV habits are no different than those of his friends. Since this father has taken a stats class, he knows that he can actually test to see whether or not his son is watching more TV than his peers. The father collects a random sample of television watching times...
A study showed that the average number of hours children in the US watch television each day is 4 hours with a standard deviation of 1.6 hours. If a group of 64 children is selected at random, what is the probability that the average time these children watch television more than 3.5 hours a day?
According to a certain survey, adults spend 2.35 hours per day watching television on a weekday. Assume that the standard deviation for "time spent watching television on a weekday" is 1.93 hours. If a random sample of 50 adults is obtained, describe the sampling distribution of x overbar, the mean amount of time spent watching television on a weekday. One consequence of the popularity of the Internet is that it is thought to reduce television watching. Suppose that a random...
Egyptians watch an average of 2.5 hours of television per person per day. If the standard deviation is 1.6 hours and a random sample of 225 Egyptians is selected, the mean of this sample belongs to a sampling distribution. What is the standard deviation of this sampling distribution? o O 0.107 O 15.234 O 225 1.636
Egyptians watch an average of 2.5 hours of television per person per day. If the standard deviation is 1.6 hours and a random sample of 225 Egyptians is selected, the mean of this sample belongs to a sampling distribution. What is the mean of this sampling distribution? O 1.6 O 225 O 4.7 2.5
