Question

REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is sleep during which most dreams occur. Each night a person has both REM and non-REM sleep. However, it is thought that children have more REM sleep than adults†. Assume that REM sleep time is normally distributed for both children and adults. A random sample of n1 = 11 children (9 years old) showed that they had an average REM sleep time of x1 = 2.5 hours per night. From previous studies, it is known that ?1 = 0.8 hour. Another random sample of n2 = 11 adults showed that they had an average REM sleep time of x2 = 1.6 hours per night. Previous studies show that ?2 = 0.9 hour. Do these data indicate that, on average, children tend to have more REM sleep than adults? Use a 1% level of significance.

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.
