A math teacher claims that she has developed a review course that increases the scores of students on the math portion of a college entrance exam. Based on data from the administrator of the exam, scores are normally distributed with u = 514. The teacher obtains a random sample of 1800 students, puts them through the review class, and finds that the mean math score of the 1800 students is 520 with a standard deviation of 113. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Let µ be the mean score. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: H>514, H1: µ#514 O B. Ho: H<514, H,: µ > 514 O C. Ho: H= 514, H1: µ#514 D. Ho: H = 514, H1: µ> 514

Question
A math teacher claims that she has developed a review course that increases the scores of students on the math portion of a college entrance exam. Based on data
from the administrator of the exam, scores are normally distributed with u = 514. The teacher obtains a random sample of 1800 students, puts them through the review
class, and finds that the mean math score of the 1800 students is 520 with a standard deviation of 113. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Let u be the mean score. Choose the correct answer below.
A. Ho: µ>514, H,: µ#514
O B. Ho: µ<514, H, : µ > 514
C. Ho: H= 514, H,: µ #514
D. Ho: = 514, H1: µ > 514
(b) Test the hypothesis at the a = 0.10 level of significance. Is a mean math score of 520 statistically significantly higher than 514? Conduct a hypothesis test using the
P-value approach.
Find the test statistic.
to = 2.25
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Find the P-value.
The P-value is.
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
