Question

A college claims the mean SAT math score for incoming freshmen is 640. You suspect that this claim is too low and decide to test the claim. You select a random sample of 34 incoming freshman and find the sample mean SAT math score to be 652.5. Past studies have indicated that the population standard deviation is 55. We can assume the population of scores are normally distributed. If you assume that the population mean is 640, find the P-value corresponding to the hypothesis that the average SAT score is greater than 640.

	A.	0.093
	B.	0.078
	C.	0.100
	D.	0.126

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
