Test the claim that the mean time Americans spend watching TV per day is 4.4 hours at the 0.10 level of significance. A random sample of 80 people had a mean time of 2.225 hours viewing per day and a standard deviation of 1.088 hours.
-----
Ho: u = 4.4 hrs (claim)
Ha: u # 4.4 hrs
------------------------
z(2.225) = (2.225-4.4)/[1.088] = -1.972
---
p-value = 2*normalcdf(-100,-1.972) = 0.049
----
Since the p-value is greater than 10%, fail to reject Ho.
---
The test results support the claim.
Cheers,
Stan H.
