The Lawnpoke Golf Association (LGA) has established rules that manufacturers of golf

equipment must meet for their products to be acceptable for LGA events. BatOutHell Balls

uses a proprietary process to produce balls with a mean distances of 295 yards. BatOutaHell is

concerned that if the mean distance falls below 295 yards, the word will get out and sales will

sag. Further, if the mean distance exceeds 295 yard, their balls may be rejected by LGA.

Measurements of the distances are recorded in DATA. At =0.05. test the no action

hypothesis that the balls have a mean distance of 295 yards.

Choose your answer from the following:

A. The test statistic of 1.908 is greater than the critical value of 1.734, therefore HO is rejected. It is reasonable to assume that the distance is not 295 yards.

B. The test statistic is 3.003 and the critical value is 1.734, therefore the test statistic is greater than the critical value of 1.734 and the null hypothesis is rejected. The distance not 295 yards.

C. The test statistic is 1.297 and the critical value is 1.734, therefore the test statistics is less than the critical value and the null hypothesis is not rejected. The distance is about 295 yards

D. The test statistics of 2.238 is greater than the critical value of 1.734, therefore HO is rejected. It is reasonable to assume that the distance is not 295 yards.
