Answer:

The claim is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

13 24 21 37 15 25 18 22 40 32

The sample mean and standard deviation can ben calculated for the given sample.

Using calculator :

Sample mean, xbar = 24.7

Sample standard deviation, s = 9.04

Sample size, n = 10

The hypothesis :

H0 : μ = 17

H1 : μ ≠ 17

The test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

(24.7 - 17) ÷ (9.04/√(10))

7.7 / 2.8586990

Test statistic = 2.694

We can obtain the Pvalue, at α = 0.05 ; df = n-1 = 9

Pvalue = 0.0246

Since Pvalue < α ; we reject the null ; Hence, there is significant evidence to conclude that an adult American does not spend average of 17 hours in leisure

sergey [27]
Let x = the length of the shorter piece
x+x+16=50in
2x=50-16
2x=34
x=17

Then

x+16=17+16
x+16=33
Subtract 16 from both sides

The lengths are 17in and 33in
