9.3 Exercise 12

Avg difficulty 2.5

It is believed that Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per night, on average. A survey of 22 LTCC Intermediate Algebra students generated a mean of 7.24 hours with a standard deviation of 1.93 hours. At a level of significance of 5%, do LTCC Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per night, on average? The distribution to be used for this test is X – \overset{–}{X} ~ ________________

  1. N(7.24, 1.93 22 ) N \left(7.24 , \frac{1.93}{\sqrt{22}}\right)
  2. N(7.24,1.93) N \left(7.24 , 1.93\right)
