Conduct a hypothesis test showing all of your steps.

A study claims that all adults spend an average of over 14 hours on chores during a weekend. In a random sample of 172 adults spent a mean time of 14.38 hours of time on weekend chores, with a standard deviation of 2.6 hours. Test this claim with a 6% level of significance.

1. State the hypotheses and label the claim. Is the test left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed?

2.What is/are the critical value(s)? Draw a picture.

3.What is the P-value AND test-statistic?

4. State the conclusion. Give two reasons for your decision to reject/not reject H0 based on:
-Test statistic compared to critical value

- P-value compared to α

Then, relate back to the original claim.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Hello! As you have posted more than 3 sub parts, we are answering the first 3 sub-parts.  In case you require the unanswered parts also, kindly re-post that parts separately.

1.

Given claim:

A study claims that all adults spend an average of over 14 hours on chores during a weekend.

Null Hypothesis:

H0:μ14

Alternative Hypothesis:

H1:μ>14

Here, the alternative is greater than case.

Hence, the tail of the test is right tail test.

 

Step 2

2.

Here, the population standard deviation is not known.

Hence, we can use t test.

Given sample size is n=172

df=n-1=172-1=171

Level of significance=6%=0.06

t critical value=1.5626, from the excel function, =T.INV(0.94,171).
