The average amount of time it takes for couples to further communicate with each other after their first date has ended is 1.5 days. The standard deviation is 0.6 days. Is this average longer for blind dates? A researcher interviewed 34 couples who had recently been on blind dates and found that they averaged 1.65 days to communicate with each other after the date was over. What can be concluded at the 0.05 level of significance?

H₀:= 1.5

H_a: [ Select ] [">", "<", "Not Equal To"] 1.5

Test statistic: [ Select ] ["T", "Z"]

p-Value = [ Select ] ["0.15", "0.02", "0.03", "0.07"]

[ Select ] ["Fail to Reject Ho", "Reject Ho"]

Conclusion:There is [ Select ] ["insufficient", "statistically significant"] evidence to make the conclusion that the population mean time for couples who have been on a blind date to communicate with each other after the date is over is greater than 1.5 days.
