A recent national survey found that high school students watched an average (mean) of 7.1 DVDs per month with a population standard deviation of 1.00 hour. The distribution of DVDs watched per month follows the normal distribution. A random sample of 33 college students revealed that the mean number of DVDs watched last month was 6.20. At the 0.05 significance level, can we conclude that college students watch fewer DVDs a month than high school students?

Required information

H₀: 7.1 ; H₁: > 7.1

H₀: = 7.1 ; H₁: 7.1

H₀: 7.1 ; H₁: < 7.1

H₀: > 7.1 ; H₁: = 7.1

Required information

Reject H₁ if z < -1.645

Reject H₀ if z > -1.645

Reject H₁ if z > -1.645

Reject H₀ if z < -1.645

Solution

a) H0: The college students watch not fewer DVDs a month than high school students

   i.e. H0: 7.1

H1: The college students watch fewer DVDs a month than high school students

      ie. H₁: < 7.1

b) Decision Rule : Reject H₀ if z < -1.645

c) Test Statistic value -5.17

d) Test statistic value (-5.17) < critical value (-1.645). Therefore we reject H0.

The college students watch fewer DVDs a month than high school students.

e) P-Value = 0.0000 closed to 0. so again we reject H0
