"It is claimed that a car is driven on the average less than 24700 kilometers per year with a population standard deviation of 2900 kilometers. A company wants to test if their current car model is on par with this average. To test this, a random sample of 86 cars from the company were tested. Suppose you are an analyst of the company, would you suggest to make improvements in your car design if the random sample showed an average of 26300 kilometers? Use a 0.1 level of significance." I will assume that the cars are on par with the average and recommend to do nothing.

A
I will assume that the cars are on par with the average and recommend to do nothing.
I would recommend an improvement to the car design to improve performance.
I will be certain that there is no need to improve the car design based on the result.
There is no sufficient data to make a sound conclusion.
