A data set includes data from 400 random tornadoes. The display from technology available below results from using the tomado lengths (miles) to test the claim that the mean tornado length is greater than 2.6 miles. Use a 0.05 significance level. Use the display to identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, and P-value. State the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Question
A data set includes data from 400 random tornadoes. The display from technology available below results from using the tornado lengths (miles) to test the claim that the mean
tornado length is greater than 2.6 miles. Use a 0.05 significance level. Use the display to identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, and P-value.
State the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
Hypothesis test results:
Mean of variable
| Ho H=2.6
HAH>2.6
Variable Sample Mean
Length
2.75311
Std. Err. DF
0.274284 399
T-Stat
0.558217
P-value
0.2885
OA. Fail to reject Ho. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean tornado length is greater than 2.6 miles.
OB. Reject Ho. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean tornado length is greater than 2.6 miles.
OC. Reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean tornado length is greater than 2.6 miles
OD. Fail to reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean tornado length is greater than 2.6 miles
