Chapter 09, Section 9.3, Problem 047 A past study claimed that adults in America spent an average of 18 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 spend per week on leisure activities. Their responses (in hours) are as follows. 10.0 11.9 24,2 24.4 22.4 33.8 19 19.6 20.4 20.9 Assume that the times spent on leisure activities by all adults are normally distributed. Using the 5% significance level, can you conclude that the average amount of time spent by American adults on leisure activities has changed? (Hint: First calculate the sample mean and the sample standard devlation for these data. Then make the test of hypothesis about 4.) Round the sample standard deviation to three decimal places. The claim is

A psychologist believed that as children get older, they engage in more “inactive activities” such as playing computer games, watching TV and surfing the internet. She collected data from 10 children. She recorded the age of each child and the amount of activity (in hours) the child engaged in per week. Age Activity 7 4.3 9 3.2 10 1 13 1.5 12 1.2 15 0.8 9 3 12 4 15 1.5 14 1.9 Using excel, obtain a scatterplot of the data. Discuss the relationship between age and activity based on the scatterplot. Using excel, obtain the simple linear regression linear regression line predicting activity from age. Interpret the intercept and slope of the regression line. By hand, predict the amount of activity for age = 14. By hand, calculate the residual for age = 14 Using excel output, test the null hypothesis that the slope coefficient is zero using the p-value approach. Write one sentence interpreting the meaning of this result. Make sure to report the test statistic…
5. A recent study indicates that simply giving college students (n-30) a pedometer can result in increased walking (Jackson & Howton, 2008). Students were given pedometers for a 12-week period, and asked to record the average number of steps per day during weeks 1, 6, and 12. a. Which variables are described in this scenario and what are their scales of measurement? b. Which test should you use?
