A random sample of 81 eighth grade​ students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 274. 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=0.02​, is there enough evidence to support the​ administrator's claim.
