• RQ1: Is there a difference between male students and female students in terms of the time spent on watching TV drama per day before midterm?
• RQ2: Do students spend different amount of time watching TV drama per day before and after midterm?
• RQ3: Is the mean of test score for statistics significantly different from 27?

Please Answer the Following Questions:

A. Based on the research questions, formulate a null hypothesis (H₀) and an alternative hypothesis (H₁) for EACH research question. Please note that we will be conducting two-tailed tests, so the alternative hypotheses should be two sided.

For RQ1:

H₁:

For RQ2: H₀:

H₁:

For RQ3:
