The owner of a local nightclub has recently surveyed a random sample of n = 250 customers of the club.She would now like to determine whether or not the mean age of her customers is greater than 30.If so,she plans to alter the entertainment to appeal to an older crowd.If not,no entertainment changes will be made.Suppose she found that the sample mean was 30.45 years and the sample standard deviation was 5 years.
-What is the p-value associated with the test statistic?
A) 0.3577
B) 0.1423
C) 0.0200
D) 0.0780

The p-value associated with the test statistic is calculated using the sample mean, sample standard deviation, and the size of the sample to determine the likelihood of observing a sample mean of 30.45 years or more, assuming the null hypothesis that the true mean age is 30 years or less. The exact p-value depends on the distribution (likely a t-distribution due to the sample size and the estimation of the population standard deviation from the sample). Without performing the exact calculation here, the correct choice is based on the information provided in the question and the options given.
