Assume a media agency reports that it takes television streaming service subscribers in the U.S. an average of 5.88 days to watch the entire first season of a television series, with a standard deviation of 3.93 days. Scarlett is an analyst for an online television and movie streaming service company that targets to the 18-50 age bracket. She wants to determine if her company's customers exhibit shorter viewing rates for their series offerings. Scarlett plans to conduct a one-sample ?-test, with significance level of ?=0.05, to test the null hypothesis, ?0:?=5.88 days, against the alternative hypothesis, ?1:?<5.88 days. The variable ? is the mean amount of time, in days, that it takes for customers to watch the first season of a television series. Scarlett selects a simple random sample of 725 customers who watched the first season of a television series from the company database of over 25,000 customers that qualified. She compiles the summary statistics shown in the table. Sample size Sample mean Standard error ? ?⎯⎯⎯ SE 725 5.55 0.1460 Compute the ?-value for Scarlett's hypothesis test directly using a normalcdf function on a TI calculator or by using software.
