Answer:
There is evidence to show that the single-earner couples on average spend more time watching television together
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a recent study compared the time spent together by single- and dual-earner couples. According to the records kept by the wives during the study, the mean amount of time spent together watching television among the single-earner couples was 61 minutes per day, with a standard deviation of 15.5 minutes. For the dual-earner couples, the mean number of minutes spent watching television was 48.4 minutes, with a standard deviation of 18.1 minutes.

Let us assume sample sizes are 500 each.
Difference -12.600
Standard error 1.066
95% CI -14.6913 to -10.5087
t-statistic -11.823
DF 998
Significance level P < 0.0001
Since p is less than alpha we reject null hypothesis.
