- I need help with something regarding this problem. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults aged 18 to 64 get an average of 8 hours of sleep per night. A survey of sleep hours was taken during a Statistics class. The data is listed below: 4, 5, 5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10 Do we have enough evidence at the 0.05 significance level to say that statistics students tend to get less sleep than the recommended average of 8 hours per night? How would I get the degrees of freedom?arrow_forwardA psychologist has designed an index to measure the social perspectives of elementary school children. The index is based on ratings of a child’s responses to questions about a set of photographs showing different social situations. The following are the indices measured on a random sample of 16 children attending elementary school in a particular district. 48, 75, 69, 58, 60, 68, 59, 66, 71, 52, 49, 60, 54, 55, 70, 57 For the data the mean index is 60.69 and the standard deviation is 8.26. The confidence interval is 95%, with a level of significance of 0.05. Perform a statistical test to determine if the population mean index is greater than 50. a) Name of hypothesis test: b) H0: c) HA: d) Test Statistic: e) Rejection region: f) Decision in the context of the problem:arrow_forwardA random sample of 25 Berkeley College students was asked, “How many hours per week typically do you work outside the home?” Their responses were as follows: {0, 0, 15, 20, 30, 40, 30, 20, 35, 35, 28, 15, 20, 25, 25, 30, 5, 10, 30, 24, 28, 30, 35, 15, 15} a.
