A group of students estimated the length of one minute without reference to a watch or clock, and the times (seconds) are listed below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that these times are from a population with a mean equal to 60 seconds. Does it appear that students are reasonably good at estimating one minute?

Assuming all conditions for conducting a hypothesis test are met, what are the null and alternative hypotheses?
A. Upper H0: u=60 seconds
Upper H1: μ<60 seconds
B. Upper H0: μ≠60 seconds
Upper H 1H1:μ=60 seconds
C. Upper H 0H0: μ=60seconds
Upper H 1H1: μ> 60 seconds
D. Upper H 0H0: μ=60 seconds
Upper H 1H1: μ≠60 seconds
Determine the test statistic: _____________(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Determine the P-value. _________(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
State the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
▼ FAIL TO REJECT / REJECT Upper H 0H0. There is ▼ sufficient / not sufficient evidence to conclude that the original claim that the mean of the population of estimates is 60 seconds ▼ IS / IS NOT correct. It▼ APPEARS / DOES NOT APPEAR that, as a group, the students are reasonably good at estimating one minute.
