Rem Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Is Sleep During Which Most Dreams Occur Each Night A Person Has Both Rem And Non Rem Sle 1 (53.12 KiB) Viewed 14 times
REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is sleep during which most dreams occur. Each night a person has both REM and non-REM sleep. However, it is thought that children have more REM sleep than adultst. Assume that REM sleep time is normally distributed for both children and adults. A random sample of n₁ = 9 children (9 years old) showed that they had an average REM sleep time of x₁ = 2.9 hours per night. From previous studies, it is known that ₁ = 0.6 hour. Another random sample of n₂ = adults showed that they had an average REM sleep time of x₂ = 2.10 hours per night. Previous studies show that ₂ = 0.8 hour. Do these data indicate that, on average, children tend to have more REM sleep than adults? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. O Ho: M₁ = M₂i Hq: My > M₂ O Ho: M₁ = H₂i Hq: My # H₂ O Ho: M₁ = M₂i Hq Hq <H₂ O Ho: M₁ <H₂i H₁: M₁ = M₂ (b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? O The standard normal. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations. O The standard normal. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with known standard deviations. O The Student's t. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations. O The Student's t. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with known standard deviations. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference μ₁-₂. Round your answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.

Are the data statistically significant at level a? O At the α = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant. O At the α = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant. O At the α = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant. O At the α = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant. (e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application. O Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the mean REM sleep time for children is more than for adults. O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the mean REM sleep time for children is more than for adults. O Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the mean REM sleep time for children is more than for adults. O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the mean REM sleep time for children is more than for adults.
