- A random sample of 76 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 283. 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 280. Assume that the population standard deviation is 31. At α=0.04, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e).arrow_forwardA random sample is selected from a normal population with a mean of μ=50 and a standard deviation of σ=12. After a treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample, the sample mean is found to be M=55.
