At a recent meeting, the manager of a national call center for a major Internet bank made the statement that the average past-due amount for customers who have been called previously about their bills is now no larger than $26.00. Other bank managers at the meeting suggested that this statement may be in error and that it might be worthwhile to conduct a test to see if there is statistical support for the call center manager's statement. The accompanying table contains data for a random sample of 67 customers from the call center population. Assuming that the population standard deviation for past due amounts is known to be$62.00, what should be concluded based on the sample data? Test using =0.01.

State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below.
A.H0:26.00 HA: <26.00
B.H0:26.00 HA:=26.00
C.H0: <26.00 HA: 26.00
D.H0:>26.00 HA: 26.00
E.H0:26.00 HA:>26.00
F.H0: =26.00 HA: 26.00
Calculate the test statistic.
t or z =?????(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Find the p-value.
p-value=?????? (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
State the conclusion. Choose the correct answer below.
A. Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence at significance level =0.01 that the mean past-due amount for customers who have been called is greater than $26.00.
B. Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence at significance level =0.01 that the mean past-due amount for customers who have been called is not equal to $26.00.
C. Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence at significance level =0.01 that the mean past-due amount for customers who have been called is greater than$26.00.
D. Reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence at significance level =0.01that the mean past-due amount for customers who have been called is greater than $26.00.
