A metropolitan transportation authority has set a bus mechanical reliability goal of 3,900 bus miles. Bus mechanical reliability is measured specifically as the number of bus miles between mechanical road calls. Suppose a sample of 100 buses resulted in a sample mean of 3,975 bus miles and a sample standard deviation of 275 bus miles. Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below.

bus miles. Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below.
 
 
A metropolitan transportation authority has set a bus mechanical reliability goal of 3,900 bus miles. Bus mechanical reliability is measured specifically as the number of bus miles between mechanical road calls. Suppose a sample of 100
buses resulted in a sample mean of 3,975 bus miles and a sample standard deviation of 275 bus miles. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.
a. Is there evidence that the population mean bus miles is more than 3,900 bus miles? (Use a 0.10 level of significance.)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Ho: H▼
H₁: H
V
(Type integers or decimals.)
Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test.
tSTAT= (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
C
The critical value(s) for the test statistic is(are)
(Round to two decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
Is there sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis using a = 0.10?
O A. Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.10 level of significance that the population mean bus miles is greater than 3,900 bus miles.
O B. Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence at the 0.10 level of significance that the population mean bus miles is greater than 3,900 bus miles.
O C. Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence at the 0.10 level of significance that the population mean bus miles is less than 3,900 bus miles.
O D. Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.10 level of significance that the population mean bus miles is less than 3,900 bus miles.
b. Determine the p-value and interpret its meaning.
The p-value is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
What does this p-value mean given the results of part (a)?
O A. The p-value is the probability that the actual mean is greater than 3,975 bus miles.
O B. The p-value is the probability of getting a sample mean of 3,975 bus miles or greater if the actual mean is 3,900 bus miles.
O C. The p-value is the probability that the actual mean is 3,975 bus miles or less.
O D. The p-value is the probability that the actual mean is 3,900 bus miles or greater given the sample mean 3,975 bus miles.
