A random sample of 50 medical school applicants at a university has a mean raw score of 31 with a standard deviation of 2.5 on the multiple choice portions of the MCAT. A student says that the mean raw score for the school’s applicants is more than 30. At is there enough evidence to support the student’s claim, using a significance level of 0.05? Write the claim mathematically (you may use x to represent the mean) Determine the null hypothesis Determine the alternative hypothesis Find the standardized test statistic, z, round to 3 decimal places. Find the P-value, round to three decimal places. Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim
