7.2(8c)

A random sample of

84

eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of

294.

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

285.

Assume that the population standard deviation is

37.

At

=0.09,

is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e).
