Question

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 TV per day was 68.7 minutes and the standard deviation was 67.5 minutes. For the sample of females, the mean time spent watching TV per day was 93.9 minutes and the standard deviation was 89.1 minutes. Is there convincing evidence that the mean time female students at this university spend watching TV is greater than the mean time for male students? Test the appropriate hypotheses using α = 0.05. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use μmales − μfemales. Round your test statistic to two decimal places, your df down to the nearest whole number, and your P-value to three decimal places.)

t = 1.4739 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

df = 82 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

P-value = 0.288 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

State your conclusion. Fail to reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the mean time female students at this university spend watching TV is greater than the mean time for male students. Fail to reject H0. We have convincing evidence that the mean time female students at this university spend watching TV is greater than the mean time for male students. Reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the mean time female students at this university spend watching TV is greater than the mean time for male students. Reject H0. We have convincing evidence that the mean time female students at this university spend watching TV is greater than the mean time for male students.

Please show your work so I can follow along!!!!! Thank you.

Answer 1
