Question

Dean Halverson recently read that full-time college students study 20 hours each week. She decides to do a study at her university to see if there is evidence that students study an average of more than 20 hours each week. A random sample of 35 students were asked to keep a diary of their activities over a period of several weeks. It was found that the average number of hours that the 35 students studied each week was 21.1 hours. The sample standard deviation of 4.3 hours.
Find the p-value.
The p-value should be rounded to 4-decimal places.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0698

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Population mean, μ = 20

Sample mean, xbar = 21.1

Sample standard deviation, s = 4.3

Sample size, n = 35

The hypothesis :

H0 : μ = 20

H0 : μ > 20

The test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

T = (21.1 - 20) ÷ (4.3/√(35))

T = 1.1 ÷ 0.7268326

Test statistic = 1.513

Using the Pvalue calculator :

df = n - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34

Pvalue(1.513, 34) = 0.06976

Pvalue = 0.0698 (4 decimal places)
