Part I: Basic statistics

The data in the table is a convenience sample research based on dormitory students at the national campus. Many dorm students tend to fail or withdraw their classes due to too many absences, tardiness, or failing tests. The opinion of the researcher who gathered the data, Angelina Ruethow, is that the main cause is a lack of sleep. Ms. Ruethow noticed that the dorm students spend considerable time watching television instead of studying. The data is reported to be the number of hours students spent watching television during weekdays and weekends in one semester.
