(a)
Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the sample data support the hypothesis that students show a higher population mean math score on the SAT if their parents attained a higher level of education. (Let μ1 = population mean verbal score of students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree and μ2 = population mean verbal score of students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree.)
a. H0: μ1 − μ2 = 0
    Ha: μ1 − μ2 ≠ 0
b. H0: μ1 − μ2 ≠ 0
    Ha: μ1 − μ2 = 0
c. H0: μ1 − μ2 ≥ 0
    Ha: μ1 − μ2 < 0
d. H0: μ1 − μ2 ≤ 0
    Ha: μ1 − μ2 > 0
e.  H0: μ1 − μ2 < 0
    Ha: μ1 − μ2 = 0
(b)
What is the point estimate of the difference between the means for the two populations?
 
(c)
Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
 
Compute the p-value for the hypothesis test. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value = 
 
(d) At α = 0.05, what is your conclusion?
1. Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that higher population mean verbal scores are associated with students whose parents are college graduates.
2. Do not Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that higher population mean verbal scores are associated with students whose parents are college graduates.     
3. Do not reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that higher population mean verbal scores are associated with students whose parents are college graduates.
4. Reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that higher population mean verbal scores are associated with students whose parents are college graduates.
