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 a = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify Ho and Ha. Choose the correct answer below.

Transcribed Image Text: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.
