4) Time spent on watching TV drama per day after midterm (in hours); (TVDrama_after)

5) Test score for statistics; (test_score)

Instructions:

Use the SPSS dataset on Blackboard-Assignment (HW3.sav) to run APPROPRIATE tests to answer these three research questions.

• RQ1: Is there a difference between male students and female students in terms of the time spent on watching TV drama per day before midterm?
• RQ2: Do students spend different amount of time watching TV drama per day before and after midterm?
• RQ3: Is the mean of test score for statistics significantly different from 27?

Please Answer the Following Questions:

A. Based on the research questions, formulate a null hypothesis (H₀) and an alternative hypothesis (H₁) for EACH research question. Please note that we will be conducting two-tailed tests, so the alternative hypotheses should be two sided.

For RQ1:

H₀:

H₁:

For RQ2: H₀:

H₁:

For RQ3:

H₀:
