Question
A random sample of 79 eighth-grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 263. 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 260. Assume that the population standard deviation is 34. At α = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e).

(a) Write the claim mathematically and identify \(H_0\) and \(H_a\). Choose the correct answer below.

- A. \(H_0: \mu \geq 260\) (claim) \\
  \(H_a: \mu < 260\)

- B. \(H_0: \mu \leq 260\) \\
  \(H_a: \mu > 260\) (claim)

- C. \(H_0: \mu = 260\) (claim) \\
  \(H_a: \mu > 260\)

- D. \(H_0: \mu = 260\) \\
  \(H_a: \mu > 260\) (claim)

- E. \(H_0: \mu \leq 260\) \\
  \(H_a: \mu > 260\)

- F. \(H_0: \mu < 260\) \\
  \(H_a: \mu \geq 260\) (claim)

(b) Find the standardized test statistic \(z\), and its corresponding area.

\(z = \_\_\_\_ \, \text{(Round to two decimal places as needed.)}\)

(c) Find the P-value.

P-value = \_\_\_\_ \, \text{(Round to three decimal places as needed.)}

(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

- \( \bigcirc \) Fail to reject \(H_0\)

- \( \bigcirc \) Reject \(H_0\)

(e) Interpret your decision in the context of the original claim.

At the 5% significance level, there \(\_\_\_\_\) enough evidence to \(\_\_\_\_\) the administrator's claim that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on the exam is more than 260.
