T-test
One Sample t-test using dummy (two- tail):
Problem Statement- To determine that there is a significant difference between estimated
average hours of TV watched per week (28.5) and calculated hours at alpha=5%.

HYPOTHESIS TESTING:
Null Hypothesis: There is no significant difference between estimated average hours of TV
watched per week (28.5) and calculated hours
Alternate Hypothesis: There is a significant difference between estimated average hours of
TV watched per week (28.5) and calculated hours
H0 = µ = 28.5
H1 = µ ≠ 28.5
Output:
t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Unequal

P(T<=t) two-tail 0.021226
t Critical two-tail 2.048407
DECISION RULE:
If t-stat is greater than t-critical, reject null hypothesis.
If p(t) is less than α, reject Null hypothesis.
INFERENCE:
Since t Stat(2.44) is greater than t Critical(2.04), reject Null hypothesis.
Since P(0.02) is less than α(0.05), reject Null hypothesis.
CONCLUSION:
There is a significant difference between estimated average hours of TV watched per week
(28.5) and calculated hours
