The respondents to the 2018 General Social Survey reported their weekly hours on the internet. The dataset is the GSS2018sample and variable is WWWHR. In 2020, a researcher working on internet use reported that US residents were using the internet for an average of 14.5 hours per week. Is there a statistically significant difference between the GSS average from 2018 and the average number of hours reported by the researcher in 2020? 1) State the Null Hypothesis for this research question. 2) State a directional Alternative Hypothesis for this research question. 3) What type of t test would be used for this analysis?
esearch question: The respondents to the 2018 General Social Survey reported their weekly hours on the internet. The dataset is the GSS2018sample and variable is WWWHR.

Is there a statistically significant difference between the GSS average from 2018 and the average number of hours reported by the researcher in 2020?
1) State the Null Hypothesis for this research question.
2) State a directional Alternative Hypothesis for this research question.
3) What type of t test would be used for this analysis?
Carry out the inference test you identified in above, and report the following information.
1) What is the "n" of this analysis? How many cases are used?
2) Summarize the research results and your decision about the Null Hypothesis. Please include the test value (test statistic) and the probability of getting the result by chance.
3) What does the Confidence Interval indicate about the population parameter?
