Question
Cell Phone Call Lengths The average local cell phone call length was reported to be 2.39 minutes. A random sample of 24 phone calls showed an average of 2.83 minutes in length with a standard deviation of 0.9 minutes. At =α0.01, can it be concluded that the average differs from the population average? Assume that the population is approximately
a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim
H0= (claim or not claim)
H1= (claim or not claim)
This hypothesis test is a (one tailed or two tailed) test
Critical value(s)=
t=
(Reject or do not reject) the null hypothesis
is there enough evidence to support the claim?
