A random sample of 81 eighth grade students'
scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score
of 266. This test result prompts a state school
administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's
eighth graders on this assessment is more
than 260. Assume that the population standard deviation
is 40. At α=0.13, is there enough evidence to
support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a)
through (e). Question content area bottom
Part 1
(a) Write the claim mathematically and
identify H0 and Ha. Choose the correct answer
below.
A. H0: μ≤260
, Ha: μ>260 (claim)
B. H0: μ=260
, Ha: μ>260 (claim)
C. H0: μ=260 (claim) ,
Ha: μ>260
D. H0: μ<260
, Ha: μ≥260 (claim)
E. H0: μ≥260 (claim)
, Ha: μ<260
F. H0: μ≤260 (claim)
, Ha: μ>260
Part 2
(b) Find the standardized test statistic z, and its
corresponding area.
