Do male college students spend more time than female college students using a computer? This was one of the questions investigated by the authors of an article. Each student in a random sample of 46 male students at a university in England and each student in a random sample of 38 female students from the same university kept a diary of how he or she spent time over a three-week period. For the sample of males, the mean time spent using a computer per day was 45.3 minutes and the standard deviation was 63.3 minutes. For the sample of females, the mean time spent using a computer was 39.2 minutes and the standard deviation was 57.3 minutes. Is there convincing evidence that the mean time male students at this university spend using a computer is greater than the mean time for female students? Test the appropriate hypotheses using

= 0.05. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use _{males females}. Round your test statistic to two decimal places, your df down to the nearest whole number, and your P-value to three decimal places.)

State your conclusion. Fail to reject H₀. We have convincing evidence that the mean time per day male students at this university spend using a computer is greater than the mean time for female students.

Reject H₀. We have convincing evidence that the mean time per day male students at this university spend using a computer is greater than the mean time for female students.

Fail to reject H₀. We do not have convincing evidence that the mean time per day male students at this university spend using a computer is greater than the mean time for female students.

Reject H₀. We do not have convincing evidence that the mean time per day male students at this university spend using a computer is greater than the mean time for female students.
