Fifteen randomly chosen teenagers were asked how many hours per week they spend on the phone. The sample mean was 4.75 hours with a sample standard deviation of 2.0.

If you conducted a hypothesis test the null and alternative hypotheses would be:

Note: x ¯ is the sample average, typically refered to has xbar, an x with a horizintal line over it.

Ho: x ¯= 4.75,    Ha: x ¯ > 4.75

Ho: 4.5,        Ha: < 4.5

Ho: = 4.75,    Ha: > 4.75

Ho: = 4.5,            Ha: > 4.5

Ho: x ¯= 4.75,    Ha: x ¯ > 4.75

Ho: 4.5,        Ha: < 4.5

Ho: = 4.75,    Ha: > 4.75

Ho: = 4.5,            Ha: > 4.5

Explanation / Answer
