A wild life biologist believes that the median length of the fish in a lake is 3 5 cm. A random sample of 14 fish yields the following lengths.
$\begin{array} { l l l l l l l l l l l l l l } 20 & 20 & 22 & 24 & 24 & 26 & 27 & 29 & 30 & 32 & 35 & 37 & 41 & 43 \end{array}$
Test the biologist's hypothesis at $\alpha = 0.05$.
A) Reject the claim because the test value 4 is more than the critical value 3 .
B) Reject the claim because the test value 4 is more than the critical value 2 .
C) Do not reject the claim because the test value 3 is equal to the critical value 3 .
D) Do not reject the claim because the test value 3 is more than the critical value 2 .
