    A researcher wishes to determine if the mean score on a standardized reading test is significantly higher than 3. According to the test makers the mean is 3.00 with a standard deviation of 0.95. A random sample of 25 third graders scored an average of 3.20 on the reading test. What are the characteristics of the comparison distribution for this testing scenario?


    1. TRUE: N(3.00,0.19)N(3.00, 0.19)
    2. FALSE: N(3.20,0.19)N(3.20, 0.19)
    3. FALSE: N(3.00,1.05)N(3.00, 1.05)
    4. FALSE: t(25)t(25)
