In a recent survey, it was stated that Malaysians watch videos on YouTube on average two hours per day. Assume that σ = 2. Using students in UTeM as the sample, conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the average for students at UTeM is lower

Answer 1

Ho: mean = 2
Ha: mean < 2

Once you get UTeM data, insert.

Z = (mean1 - mean2)/standard error (SE) of difference between means

SEdiff = √(SEmean1^2 + SEmean2^2)

SEm = SD/√n

If only one SD is provided, you can use just that to determine SEdiff.

Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion/probability related to the Z score. Is it < your level of significance?
