Telephone Calls A researcher knew that before cell phones, a person made on average 2.9 calls per day. He believes that the number of calls made per day today is higher. He selects a random sample of 28 individuals who use a cell phone and asks them to keep track of the number of calls that they made on a certain day. The mean was 3.1. At =α0.10, is there enough evidence to support the researcher's claim? The standard deviation for the population found by a previous study is 0.7. Assume that the variable is normally distributed. Use the critical value method with tables.

State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis.

:H0 ▼not claim or claim???

:H1▼not claim ot claim???

This hypotheses test is a two tailed or one tailed??? test.

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.
