Retain the null because 1.74 is greater than 1.645.
What is z - test statistic?
Any statistical test for which the test statistic's distribution under the null hypothesis can be roughly represented by a normal distribution is known as a Z-test.
Z-tests examine a distribution's mean.
Let X be the average time that prescholars spend on tablets.
X ~ N(μ, α^2)
To test H0: μ = 3 hours Vs H1: μ ≠ 3 hours.
The z - test statistic is obtained as 1.74.
Taking level of significance α = 0.05
Zα/2 = [tex]Z_0_._0_2_5 = 1.96[/tex]
Since the observed z - statistic is 1.74 which is less than Zα/2 = [tex]Z_0_._0_2_5 = 1.96[/tex],
so we retain the null hypothesis.
Hence, retain the null because 1.74 is greater than 1.645.
