REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is sleep during which most dreams occur. Each night a person has both REM and non-REM sleep. However, it is thought that children have more REM sleep than adults†. Assume that REM sleep time is normally distributed for both children and adults. A random sample ofn1 = 8 children (9 years old) showed that they had an average REM sleep time of x1 = 2.9 hours per night. From previous studies, it is known that ?1 = 0.6 hour. Another random sample ofn2 = 8 adults showed that they had an average REM sleep time of x2 = 2.10 hours per night. Previous studies show that ?2 = 0.7 hour. Do these data indicate that, on average, children tend to have more REM sleep than adults? Use a 1% level of significance.
