Question
Netflix: A study conducted by a technology company showed that the mean time spent per day browsing the video streaming service Netflix for something to watch was 19.9 minutes. Assume the standard deviation is =σ6. Suppose a simple random sample of 103 visits taken this year has a sample mean of =x20.9 minutes. A social scientist is interested to know whether the mean time browsing Netflix has increased. Use the =α0.01 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.Part: 0 / 50 of 5 Parts CompletePart 1 of 5(a) State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses.H0: H1: This hypothesis test is a ▼(Choose one) test.
Solution
The null hypothesis (H0) and the alternate hypothesis (H1) are as follows:
H0: μ = 19.9 (The mean time spent browsing Netflix has not increased and remains at 19.9 minutes)
H1: μ > 19.9 (The mean time spent browsing Netflix has increased)
This hypothesis test is a right-tailed test because we are interested in knowing whether the mean time browsing Netflix has increased, not decreased.

At one school, the average amount of time that tenth-graders spend watching television each week is 18.4 hours. The principal introduces a campaign to encourage the students to watch less television. One year later, the principal wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average amount of time spent watching television per week has decreased. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses for the study described.Question 17Answera.H0: µ = 18.4 ; H1 µ ≠18.4b.H0: µ < 18.4 ; H1 µ > 18.4c.H0: µ = 18.4 ; H1 µ <18.4d.H0: µ > 18.4 ; H1 µ <18.4
