7.2 A random sample of 88 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 265. 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 260. Assume that the population standard deviation is 33. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). α=0.05 x=265 σ=33 μ=260 n=88 H0: μ≤260 Ha: μ>260 claim z=1.42 p=.078
The original claim that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on the exam is more than 260 is the alternative hypothesis, Ha. If we reject the null hypothesis, there is enough evidence to support the claim. If we fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is not enough evidence to support the claim. Thus, at the 15% significance level, there is not enough evidence to support the administrator's claim that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on the exam is more than 290. Fail to reject H0 There is not enough evidence to support the claim
