Researchers suspect that smoking disrupts sleep patterns, so the amounts of sleep smokers
get may be different from the amounts non-smokers get. To determine if this is true they
conduct a test of hypothesis. To collect the data they include questions on sleep patterns in
the intake interviews of 86 smokers participating in a 30-day smoking cessation program the
researchers are running. They find that the smokers in the sample sleep an average of 7.4
hours per day. In the population as a whole, it is known that the amount of sleep people get
has a distribution that is roughly symmetric with an average of 7.7 hours and a standard
deviation of 0.93 hours.
