In a manual on how to have a number one song, it is stated that a song must be no longer than 210 seconds. A simple random sample of 40 current hit songs results in a mean length of 219.9 sec and a standard deviation of 54.21 sec. Use a 0.05 significance level and the accompanying Minitab display to test the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210 sec. What do these results suggest about the advice given in the manual?

Part 2
Identify the test statistic.
t=enter your response here (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Part 3
Identify the P-value.
The P-value is enter your response here. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Part 4
State the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Choose the correct answer below.
A.
Reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean length greater than 210 sec.
B.
Fail to reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean length greater than 210 sec.
C.
Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean length greater than 210 sec.
D.
Fail to reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean length greater than 210 sec.
Part 5
What do the results suggest about the advice given in the manual?
A.
The results suggest that 219.9 seconds is the best song length.
B.
The results are inconclusive because the average length of a hit song is constantly changing.
C.
The results suggest that the advice of writing a song that must be no longer than 210 seconds is not sound advice.
D.
The results do not suggest that the advice of writing a song that must be no longer than 210 seconds is not sound advice.
