One of the bartleby experts helped me with this homework problem. I am having trouble figuring out where -1.64 came from on part (b). Look at the images below. Statistically speaking, the typical romantic couple spends 3 hours of quality time together each day, with a variance of 1.5 hours. During my teenage years, I was under the assumption that a friend and I were a couple, but she recently pushed back on that claim. So, I logged our time spent together over a period of 92 days. As it turned out, we spent 2.65 hours together on a typical day, again with a variance of 1.5 hours. Assuming that all of the time we spend together is “quality” and that relationship time spent is governed by the normal distribution, do I have sufficient statistical evidence to claim that we were, in fact, in a romantic relationship?

(a) Find and interpret the z-score of our time spent together, specifically
referencing what information the sign (positive/negative) of the z-score
tells us.
(b) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether our 2.65 hours of quality
time differs significantly from the socially-accepted 3-hour figure.
(c) Create and interpret a 95% confidence interval about our mean time spent
together.
(d) In light of all of this information, provide a conclusion: are we, or aren’t
we?
