Question

2. A past study claims that adults in America spend an average of 17 hours a week on leisure activities. A researcher wanted to test this claim. She took a sample of 10 adults and asked them about the time they spent per week on leisure activities. Their responses (in hours) are as follows:
13 24 21 37 15 25 18 22 40 32
Assume that the times spent on leisure activities by all adults are normally distributed. At the 5% significance level, can you conclude that the claim of this earlier study is true? Perform a complete hypothesis and write a complete conclusion in words.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
