A random sample of 77 eighth grade​ students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 278. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the​ state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 270. Assume that the population standard deviation is 35.

Question
A random sample of
77
eighth grade​ students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of
278.
This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the​ state's eighth graders on this exam is more than
270.
Assume that the population standard deviation is
35.
At
α=0.11​,
is there enough evidence to support the​ administrator's claim? Complete parts​ (a) through​ (e).
​(a) Write the claim mathematically and identify
H0
and
Ha.
Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
H0​:μ=270
Ha​:μ>270​(claim)
 
B.
H0​:μ=270(claim)
Ha​:μ>270
 
C.
H0​:μ≤270
Ha​:μ>270​(claim)
 
D.
H0​:μ≥270​(claim)
Ha​:μ<270
 
E.
H0​:μ≤270(claim)
Ha​:μ>270
 
F.
H0​:μ<270
Ha​:μ≥270​(claim)
 
​(b) Find the standardized test statistic​ z, and its corresponding area.
 
z=
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
 
Find the​ P-value.
 
​P-value=
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
(C)Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
 
 
1.Reject H0
 
2.Fail to reject H0
 
Interpret your decision in the context of the original claim.
 
At the
11​%
significance​ level, there
1.is
2.is not
enough evidence to
1.support
2.reject
the​ administrator's claim that the mean score for the​ state's eighth graders on the exam is more than
270.
