Answer: none of the above
Step-by-step explanation: when performing an hypothesis test and we want to make conclusion by comparing the p-value with the level of significance α
When p is greater than α, we reject the null hypothesis because it simply implies that we have a larger chance to commit a type 1 error ( α is the probability of committing a type 1 error an error where we reject the null hypothesis instead of accepting it ) which means we reject the null hypothesis.
When p is lesser than level of significance α, it means that we have a lesser chance of committing a type 1 error, which means we accept the null hypothesis.

Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 cubed is just 1/2*1/2*1/2 which is 1/8
Answer:
Mean = 78.2
Standard deviation = 5.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically z-score;
= (x-mean)/SD
From the question;
12% of test scores were above 85
Thus;
P( x > 85) = 12%
P(x > 85) = 0.12
Now let’s get the z-score that has a probability of 0.12
This can be obtained from the standard normal distribution table and it is = 1.175
Thus;
1.175 = (85 - mean)/SD
let’s call the mean a and the SD b
1.175 = (85-a)/b
1.175b = 85 - a
a = 85 - 1.175b ••••••••(i)
Secondly 8% of scores were below 70
Let’s find the z-score corresponding to this proportion;
We use the standard normal distribution table as usual;
P( x < 70) = 0.08
z-score = -1.405
Thus;
-1.405 =( 70-a)/b
-1.405b = 70-a
a = 70 + 1.405b ••••••(ii)
Equate the two a
70 + 1.405b = 85 - 1.175b
85 -70 = 1.405b + 1.175b
15 = 2.58b
b = 15/2.58
b = 5.81
a = 70 + 1.405b
a = 70 + 1.405(5.81)
a = 78.16
So mean = 78.2 and Standard deviation is 5.8
