A random sample of 85 eighth grade​ students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 276. 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 31. At α=0.08​, 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
Ha​:μ>270​(claim)
 
C.
H0​:μ=270​(claim)
Ha​:μ>270
 
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.)
 
​(c) Find the​ P-value.
 
​P-value=
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
