A study wаs cоnducted in оrder tо estimаte μ, the meаn number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home. Suppose a random sample of 81 U.S. adults gives a mean weekly computer usage time of 8.5 hours and that from prior studies, the population standard deviation is assumed to be σ = 3.6 hours.

We would like to test (at the significance level of 5%) whether the current study provides significant evidence that this mean has changed since the previous year. Using a 95% confidence interval of (7.7, 9.3), our conclusion is that:
