Question:

The recommended number of hours a student should spend studying for a college course is two hours per credit hour. Test the claim that the average amount of time spent studying for a three credit hour math course is less than recommended the 6 hours per week.

Can anyone help me with step by step tutorial please? I am struggling with this hypothesis question and I keep coming up with different answers. Thanks

Explanation / Answer

Find the average and sd of the given grouped data.

[(1*4)+(10*7)+...+(1*16)]/25=9.28

Variance=Summation (f x^2/n)-(xbar)^2

={(1*4^2)+(10*7^2)+...+(1*16^2)/25}-9.28=2338

SD=sqrt 2338=48.35

H0: mu=6

H1:mu<6

Use z statistic to compute the test statistic sing the computed value.

Z=(Xi-Xbar)/sd=(9.28-6)/48.35=0.07

The z critical value at alpha=0.05 (one-tailed) is -1.65.

The test statistic do not fall in critical region. Therefore, fail to reject null hypothesis. There i snot sufficient sample evidence to conclude that avergae amount of time spent for a three credit hour math course i sless than recommended 6 hour sper week.
