In 2015 people around the world spent an average of 20 minutes per day on Facebook. Since then, we believe that this average has declined due to other social media popularity and use. To test this theory we asked 30 people from our school, on average, how much time they spend on Facebook per day. We put all of our data into spreadsheet and found our sample mean and our standard deviation. Our sample mean is 8.52 minutes. We found this by calculating the average of all of our data points in our spreadsheet using the formula =AVERAGE. Our sample standard deviation is 13.46. We found this using the Google Sheets formula, =STDEV. To test our theory we have to first come up with a null and alternate hypothesis. The null hypothesis is the hypothesis you are trying to reject or fail to reject. This hypothesis is based on a previous study for what the average population mean is. In this example our null hypothesis is H0= =20. W e assume that the null hypothesis is now incorrect and is lower than 20 minutes. Because of this our alternate hypothesis is H1= <20. So far our sample mean supports our null hypothesis because 8.52 is less than 20. In order to reject the null hypothesis, the p-value must be less than the level of significance. For the level of significance, we plan to use = 0.05 . This value will eventually determine if we will reject, or fail to reject our hypothesis. In order to find our p-value we will use the student's t distribution table. We have to use this distribution because we do not have the population standard deviation. When using students t distribution table we sue the degrees of freedom instead of the sample size. Our sample size for this data is 30, and our degrees of freedom is n=1, or in this case 29. We found our t-value by using the equation t = ( ) / (s/n) . When we substituted our values in, we found that t=(8.52-20)/13.46/ 30 This gave us a t-value of -4.67. Once we had our t-value we went to the t-distribution table across from 29 degrees of freedom, and looked for -4.67. We tried to look for the positive of this value, but it went off the chart giving us a p value of p<.0005. Because our p-value is lower than the level of significance, 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis that = 20 and accept our alternate hypothesis that < 20. This means that the average amount of time people spend on facebook is lower than what it used to be. Furthermore, this means that Fowler High School students spend, on average, less than 20 minutes per day on Facebook. This could be because Facebook is not nearly as popular as it used to be. There are other kinds of social media that are taking up more time than Facebook, such as Instagram and Snapchat.
