Question

Here you will receive one confidence interval question. You will need to calculate a confidence interval AND use it to determine whether we will reject or fail to reject a null hypothesis. You can take it as many times as you'd like.  A researcher wanted to know whether novels that are being written during the pandemic are of a different length than normal. She took ten novels written during the pandemic and found that they had a mean length of 345 pages (SD = 11). If the average length for a novel normally is 320 pages, conduct a 95% confidence interval for these data and use it to determine whether she should reject or fail to reject her null hypothesis. Don't forget to write your hypotheses for this problem as well.

\bar{x} = 345
SD = 11
n = 10
df = n - 1 = 9
t^* = 2.262
SE = \frac{SD}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{11}{\sqrt{10}} \approx 3.48
CI = \bar{x} \pm t^* \cdot SE
CI = 345 \pm 2.262 \cdot 3.48
CI = 345 \pm 7.87
CI = [337.13, 352.87]

Since the interval does not include 320, we reject the null hypothesis.
\text{Answer: [337.13, 352.87]}

7.57 Online communication. A study suggests that the average college student spends 10 hours per week communicating with others online. You believe that this is an underestimate and decide to collect your own sample for a hypothesis test. You randomly sample 60 students from your dorm and find that on average they spent 13.5 hours a week communicating with others online. A friend of yours, who offers to help you with the hypothesis test, comes up with the following set of hypotheses. Indicate any errors you see. H0 :x ̄<10hours HA : x ̄ > 13.5 hours
