Question

It is claimed that the average amount of time boys and girls (age between 7 and 11) spend playing sports each day is the same. A child psychologist believes that boys, on average, spend more time playing sports than girls. He randomly selected 75 girls and 60 boys and observed their play time on sports. From his samples he found that girls have spent on average 2.5 hours playing sports with a standard deviation of 0.56 hour, and boys have spent on average 3.8 hours playing sports with a standard deviation of 0.84 hour. It is found that the time spent on playing sports in normally distributed for boys and girls. Is this data sufficient to support the psychologist claim? Do the test at the 5% level of significance. Assume girls belong to population 1 and boys belong to population 2. Data given in this question are:

	a)	mu1 = 2.5, mu2 = 3.8, sigma1 = 0.56, sigma2 = 0.84.
	b)	y-bar1 = 2.5, y-bar2 = 3.8, sigma1 = 0.56, sigma2 = 0.84.
	c)	y-bar1 = 2.5, y-bar2 = 3.8, s1 = 0.56, s2 = 0.84.
	d)	mu1 = 2.5, mu2 = 3.8, s1 = 0.56, s2 = 0.84.

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.
