Men

spend an average of 29 minutes per day on weekends
and holidays exercising and playing sports. They spend
an average of 23 minutes per day reading. A random
sample of 25 men resulted in a mean of 35 minutes
exercising with a standard deviation of 6.9 minutes and
an average of 20.5 minutes reading with s 7.2 minutes.
At a 0.05 for both, is there sufficient evidence that
these two results differ from the national means?

Instructions: Fill in the required information on the blanks provided after each question. Use the t-table provided in the module to solve for critical values. If the test is two-tailed, write '+-' before the values to denote i,e. if the critical values are t=-1.098 and t=1.098, simply write +-1.098. For numerical answer, round up to three decimal places



Men spend an average of 30 minutes per day on weekends and holidays exercising and playing sports. A random sample of 20 men resulted in a mean of 34 minutes exercising with a standard deviation of 6 minutes. At a = 0.05, is there sufficient evidence that these results differ from the national mean?



1. The critical value for the t-test is t=

2. The value of the t-test statistic obtained from the sample is t=

3. (Write R to Reject Ho, or N to NOT Reject Ho) The Decision therefore is to

4. (Write Y for Yes, or N for No) Is there enough evidence to support the claim?
