Part 2: Analyzing Study Time per Week
You spoke with your instructor and she claimed that the averagenumber of hours that you should study has to be more than 5 hoursper week which will help you achieve an above average grade on anysubject. She also suggested as a practice that you can test herclaim and let her know what your conclusion is. So you decided tocontact your peers and gather information to conduct a hypothesisto test your instructors claim.
Questions:
- Contact at least 15 peers (they don’t have to be from the sameclass) and obtain how much time they study each week.
- Jorielyn - 8hours per week
- Honey Bell - 4 hours per week
- Shanaia - 4
- Adona- 10
- Christian- 6
- Vincent- 3
- Jam- 6
- Joie- 3
- Christine-4
- Joseph- 3
- Paolo- 5
- Joriz-9
- Leomer- 6
- Angel- 5
- Danika- 3
- If you are to conduct a hypothesis test using the data yougathered,
- Which test (t test or z test) do you think be appropriate andwhy?
(Hint: think about whether you have the population or samplestandard deviation available)
- Is this a test on population proportion or mean?
- Calculate the sample statistics (sample mean or sampleproportion based on the information given) (1 mark)
- Use the data set you gathered to conduct a hypothesis test todetermine your instructor’s claim. Use 0.05 level of significance.Please show your work, the 5 steps as described in the textbook.
- Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population meannumber of hours. Show your work.
