Reference no: EM132191925

Young children require a lot of time and this time commitment cuts into a parent's leisure time. A sociologist wanted to estimate the difference in the amount of daily leisure time (in hours) of adults who do not have children under the age of 18 years and adults who have children under the age of 18 years.

A random sample of 40 adults with no children under the age of 18 years results in a mean daily leisure time of 5.62 hours, with a standard deviation of 2.43 hours.

A random sample of 40 adults with children under the age of 18 years results in a mean daily leisure time of 4.10 hours, with a standard deviation of 1.82 hours. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean difference in leisure time between adults with no children and adults with children.
