Researchers examined the influence of a television program on children's aggressiveness. The number of aggressive responses was measured during an observation period after viewing the television program. Imagine that the known national average for the number of aggressive responses typically performed by children who do not watch television is 6.847. Use the data below to conduct an analysis to determine if the number of aggressive responses on average is different from the national average. The data for this study can be found in the datafile: nresponses.csv. 9 4 11 12 14 7 12 10 11 8 14 12 8 12 7 10 10 9 5 12 a. What is the null and alternative hypotheses in words and symbols? b. Is the assumption(s) met? Please explain your answer and proceed with the analysis even if the assumption(s) is not met. c. What do you conclude from your analysis? d. Based on your response in “c” above, identify and explain the type of error you could be making.
