Computing the p-value


Q1. A random sample of 50 students at the University of Florida revealed the mean number of hours slept last night was 6 hours and 48 minutes (6.8 hours). The standard deviation of the sample was .9 hours. A previous study concluded that Americans get a mean of 7 hours of sleep per night. Is it reasonable to conclude that the students at the University of Florida sleep less than the typical American? Compute the p-value.

Q2. According to a CBS News survey, 40% of Americans do not eat breakfast. A sample of 30 high school students found 16 had skipped breakfast that day. Use the .01 significance level to check whether high school students are more likely to skip breakfast.
