Question
After a lot of hard work, a studio releases a new video game. The studio believes that the game will be liked by players. In particular, the studio claims that the
mean player rating, μ, will be higher than 78. In a random sample of 36 players, the mean rating is 80.4. Assume the population standard deviation of the
ratings is known to be 13.8.
Is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean player rating is higher than 78? Perform a hypothesis test, using the 0.05 level of significance.
(a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁ .

(c) Based on your answer to part (b), choose what can be concluded, at the 0.05 level of significance, about the claim made by the studio.
O Since the value of the test statistic lies in the rejection region, the null hypothesis is rejected. So, there is enough
evidence to support the claim that the mean player rating is higher than 78.
O Since the value of the test statistic lies in the rejection region, the null hypothesis is not rejected. So, there is not
enough evidence to support the claim that the mean player rating is higher than 78.
O Since the value of the test statistic doesn't lie in the rejection region, the null hypothesis is rejected. So, there is
enough evidence to support the claim that the mean player rating is higher than 78.
O Since the value of the test statistic doesn't lie in the rejection region, the null hypothesis is not rejected. So, there is

The mean SAT score in mathematics is 531. The standard deviation of these scores is 42. A special preparation course claims that the mean SAT score, u, of its
graduates is greater than 531. An independent researcher tests this by taking a random sample of 14 students who completed the course; the mean SAT score
in mathematics for the sample was 540. Assume that the population is normally distributed. At the 0.10 level of significance, can we conclude that the
population mean SAT score for graduates of the course is greater than 531? Assume that the population standard deviation of the scores of course graduates is
also 42.
Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
(a) State the null hypothesis H. and the alternative hypothesis H₁ .
