A random sample of 8181 eighth grade students’ scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 268268 with a standard deviation of 3737. 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 260260. At alphaαequals=0.120.12, is there enough evidence to support the administrator’s claim? Complete parts (a) through (e).
