Dan is Correct by concluding  that adults spend a mean of 3 hours each day doing leisure and sports activities. because [tex]3.08[/tex] hours or [tex]3.09[/tex] hours which are the mean time of sample A and B  is approximately equal to 3 hours

From the question we are told that:

Total Sample size [tex]n=500[/tex]

Dan's mean  [tex]\=x_D= 3hr[/tex]

Bret's mean   [tex]\=x_D= 4hr[/tex]

Generally, the  Total hours spent doing leisure and sports activities  is mathematically given by

For Sample A

[tex]T_a=(1*70)+(2*90)+(3*135)+(4*140)+(5*65)\\\\[/tex]

[tex]T_a=1540 hours[/tex]

For Sample B

[tex]T_b=(1*80)+(2*80)+(3*130)+(4*135)+(5*75)[/tex]

[tex]T_b=1545[/tex]

Therefore

Mean Time spent doing leisure and sports activities by an American Adult

For Sample A

[tex]T_A=\frac{T_a}{n}[/tex]

[tex]T_A=\frac{1540}{500}[/tex]

[tex]T_A=3.08[/tex] hours

[tex]T_A \approx 3[/tex] hours

For Sample B

[tex]T_A'=\frac{T_b}{n}[/tex]

[tex]T_A'=\frac{1545}{500}[/tex]

[tex]T_A'=3.09[/tex] hours

[tex]T_A' \approx 3[/tex] hours

In conclusion

Dan is Correct because [tex]3.08[/tex] or [tex]3.09[/tex] which are the mean time of sample A and B is approximately equal to [tex]3[/tex]
