Perform a one-sample z-test for a population mean using the P-value approach. Be sure to state the hypotheses and thesignificance level, to compute the value of the test statistic, to obtain the P-value, and to state your conclusion. Also,assess the strength of the evidence against the null hypothesis.
-In one city, the average amount of time that tenth-graders spend watching television each week is 21.6 hours. The principal of Birchwood High School believes that at his school, tenth-graders watch less television. For a sample of 28 tenth-graders from Birchwood High School, the mean amount of time spent watching television per week was 19.4 hours. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that for tenth-graders at Birchwood High School, the mean amount of time spent watching television per week is less than the city average of 21.6 hours? Perform the appropriate hypothesis test using a significance level of 5%. Assume that = 7.2 hours.
