The distribution is normal with σ = 2.5. Last year, a sample of n = 100 grade-school children was given the same survey. For this sample, the mean number of homework hours was 7.4. Has there been a significant change in the homework habits of grade-school children? Test with α = .05. For each problem students will write out all steps of hypothesis testing: State the null and research hypotheses. Set the level of risk associated with the null hypothesis. Select the appropriate test statistic. Compute the test statistic value (called the obtained value).
