The European Social Survey (ESS) is an academically driven cross-national survey that has been conducted across Europe since its establishment in 2001. The data from the ESS survey showed that on an average weekday, Finns spend 0.88 hours reading the newspapers.

A researcher surveyed a random sample of n = 82 Finns in his town. Data analysis showed that the sample mean y (average time spent reading newspapers) is 54.88 minutes per weekday, and the sample standard deviation s is 32.6 minutes.

Research Question: "Is the average time spent reading newspapers in the researcher's town equal to the average time spent reading newspapers in Finland?"

Assume that time spend reading newspapers is normally distributed. Answer the following questions by choosing the most correct option or typing the answer.

1. The most appropriate test for this research question is:

A. one sample t-test for a population mean

B. one sample z-test for a population proportion

C. one sample t-test for a population proportion

D. one sample z-test for a population mean

For the remaining questions you may assume that any relevant assumptions for the chosen statistical test have been met.

2. The null hypothesis is that the average time spent reading newspapers is ____ (2dp) minutes per weekday. (Hint: this is the value of 00 in the 0H0: =0=0)

3. The absolute value of the test statistic is equal to? (3dp)

4. The degrees of freedom equal to? (An integer)

5. Is the p-value for this test statistic greater or less than 0.05?

6. The test shows that the average time spent reading newspapers in the researcher's town was?
