Question

Transcribed Image Text:8. A random sample of 90 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 282. 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 36. At
α = 0.03, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e).
(a) Write the claim mathematically and identify Ho and H₂. Choose the correct answer below.
O A. Ho: μ≤280
Ha: μ> 280 (claim)
O D. Ho: μ = 280
Z=
(c) Find the P-value.
Ha: μ> 280 (claim)
(b) Find the standardized test statistic z, and its corresponding area.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
