Question
A data set lists earthquake depths. The summary statistics are \( n = 500 \), \( \bar{x} = 4.45 \, \text{km} \), \( s = 4.86 \, \text{km} \). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim of a seismologist that these earthquakes are from a population with a mean equal to 4.00. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

**What are the null and alternative hypotheses?**

- **A.** \( H_0: \mu = 4.00 \, \text{km} \)  
  \( H_1: \mu > 4.00 \, \text{km} \)

- **B.** \( H_0: \mu = 4.00 \, \text{km} \)  
  \( H_1: \mu < 4.00 \, \text{km} \)

- **C.** \( H_0: \mu = 4.00 \, \text{km} \)  
  \( H_1: \mu \neq 4.00 \, \text{km} \)

- **D.** \( H_0: \mu \neq 4.00 \, \text{km} \)  
  \( H_1: \mu = 4.00 \, \text{km} \)

(The selected hypothesis is option C.)

**Determine the test statistic.**

\[ \text{(Round to two decimal places as needed.)} \]

**Determine the P-value.**

\[ \text{(Round to three decimal places as needed.)} \]

**State the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.**

Select one:

- **Fail to reject** \( H_0 \). There is **sufficient** evidence to conclude that the mean of the population of earthquake depths is 4.00 km.
- **Reject** \( H_0 \). There is **sufficient** evidence to conclude that the mean of the population of earthquake depths is 4.00 km.

- **Fail to reject** \( H_0 \). There is **insufficient** evidence to conclude that the mean of the population of earthquake depths is
