Under tabulate forum

I collected the relevant information through questioner of 40 students, who are studying 10th
standard.

From the below table .we analyze the collected information under random sampling
method

Watching TV impacted on marks scored 25 10 5

30 60 14 24 6

Mean(x) = ΣX / N

= 30 / 10 =3

The mean of X is 3

Mean(Y) = ΣY / N

= 60 / 10 =6

The mean of Y is 6

Calculation of coefficient of correlation

R= Σ x y /√ (Σx2*Σy2)

= 6 / √ (14*24)

= 6 / √336

= 6 / 18.33

= 0.32

Therefore the coefficient of correlation is o.72

Testing of hypothesis
Hypothesis testing begins by making an assumption about the population parameter. Then we
gather sample data and determine the sample statistics. To test the validity of our hypothesis the
difference between the hypothesized value and the actual value of the sample statistic will be
determined. If the difference between the hypothesized population parameter and the actual value
is larger then we automatically reject our hypothesis. If it is small, we accept it. There are two
types of hypothesis they are,

1. Null hypothesis

2. Alternative hypotheses

Alternative hypothesis is denoted by the symbol H1.

It is known as a two tailed alternative test

1. Right tailed test

2. Left tailed test

The alternative hypothesis may be represented as

1. H1:µ≠ µ0
2. H1: µ> µ0
3. H1:µ< µ0
Conclusion

Impact of watching TV by the 10th standard student during examination or in general days is
more. By watching TV for long time it reduces the marks scored by students and it also reduces
the concentration on studying. Children are more interested in watching TV than any other
activity, this gives the knowledge about the world, but also it has impacted on their body and
mental fitness.
