A claim is made that college students spend an average of 20 hours per week studying for their courses. You believe the true population average is different than 20 hours, and you would like to test the null hypothesis that μ = 20 hours versus the alternative hypothesis that μ ≠ 20 hours. You gather data from a random sample of 100 college students and calculate a test statistic of 1.2. This means the p-value would be what? A 0.0576...

Some college graduates employed full-time work more than 40 hours per week, and some work fewer than 40 hours per week. We suspect that the mean number of hours worked per week by college graduates, , is different from 40 hours and wish to do a statistical test. We select a random sample of college graduates employed full-time and find that the mean of the sample is 36 hours and that the standard deviation is 3 hours. Based on this...

A graduate student believed that, on the average, college students spend more time on the Internet compared to the rest of the population. She conducted a study to determine if her hypothesis was correct. The student randomly surveyed 25 students and found that the average amount of time spent on the Internet was 8.75 hours per week with a SD = 3 hours. The last census found that, on the average, people spent 11 hour per week on the Internet....
