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:

1. 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

2. 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.

3. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population meannumber of hours. Show your work.
