Assume a media agency reports that it takes television streaming service subscribers in the U. S. an average of 6.33 days to watch the entire first season of a television series, with a standard deviation of 3.98 days. Scarlett is an analyst for an online television and movie streaming service company that targets to the 18-50 age bracket. She wants to determine if her company's customers exhibit shorter viewing rates for their series offerings. Scarlett plans to conduct a one-sample z-test with significance level of α = 0.05, to test the null hypothesis, H0: μ =633 days, against the alternative hypothesis, HI : μ < 6.33 days. The variable μ is the mean amount of time, in days, that it takes for customers to watch the first season of a television series.
Scarlett selects a simple random sample of 840 customers who watched the first season of a television series from the company database of over 25,000 customers that qualified. She compiles the summary statistics shown in the table. Sample size Sample mean Standard error
