### Watching TV: Statistical Hypothesis Testing**Context:** The 2012 General Social Survey asked a large number of people how much time they spent watching TV each day. According to the survey:- The mean number of hours was 3.09.- The standard deviation was 2.73. Consider a sample of 32 teenagers where:- The sample standard deviation of daily TV time is 3.2 hours.- Assume the population of TV watching times is normally distributed.**Objective:**Can we conclude that the population standard deviation of TV watching times for teenagers is greater than 2.73 at a significance level of $ \alpha = 0.01 $?**Part 1 of 5: Stating Hypotheses****Null Hypothesis ( $ H_0 $ ):** \[ \sigma = 2.73 \]**Alternative Hypothesis ( $ H_1 $ ):** \[ \sigma > 2.73 \]This hypothesis test is a **right-tailed** test.---**Part 2 of 5: Finding the Critical Value**To find the critical value for $ \alpha = 0.01 $, round the answer to three decimal places.- For $ \alpha = 0.01 $, the critical value is ---**Visual Representation:**The page also contains an indication of progress, showing that the user is currently on Part 1 of 5, and includes a loading bar partially filled in blue to represent the completion ratio of 1/5.**Instructions:**- Follow the steps carefully to complete the hypothesis test.- State hypotheses clearly and determine the critical values with appropriate rounding for precise results.**Note:**Subsequent steps will involve calculating test statistics, comparing them with the critical value, and making a decision to accept or reject the null hypothesis based on the results.**Graphs/Diagrams:**There are no graphs or diagrams presented in this part of the activity. The document is focused on the written statistical hypothesis and the initial steps of hypothesis testing.

Newborn babies: A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights of 716 babies born in New York. The mean weight was 3506 grams with a standard deviation of 868 grams. Assume that birth weight data are approximately bell-shaped. Estimate the number of newborns who weighed between 1770 grams and 5242 grams. Round to the nearest whole number. The number of newborns who weighed between 1770 grams and 5242 grams is
An instructor claims that the average number of hours needed to study for a final exam in order to pass should be 5 hours. A student believes that the instructor is understating the number of hours needed to pass and surveys 36 students and finds the sample mean and standard deviation to be 5.7 and 1.5 hours respectively. Test the instructors claim at a .10 level.
Watching TV: The 2012 general Social Survey asked a large number of people how much time they spent watching TV each day. The mean number of hours was 3.09 with a standard deviation of 2.9. Assume that in a sample of 37 teenagers, the sample standard deviation of daily TV time is 2.2 hours, and that the population of TV watching times is normally distributed. Can you conclude that the population standard deviation of TV watching times for teenagers differs from 2.9? Use the a=0.10 level of significance.
