Do female college students spend more time than male college students watching TV? This was one of the questions investigated by the authors of the paper "An Ecological Momentary Assessment of the Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Patterns of University Students" (Heath Education Journal [2010]: 116-125). Each student in a random sample of 46 male students at a university in England and each student in a random sample of 38 female students from the same university kept a diary of how he or she spent time over a three-week period. For the sample of males, the mean time spent watching TV per day was 68.2 minutes and the standard deviation was 67.5 minutes. For the sample of females, the mean time spent watching TV per day was 93.5 minutes and the standard deviation was 89.1 minutes. Is there convincing evidence that the mean time female students at this university spend watching TV is greater than the mean time for male students?
