An agency that hires out clerical workers claims its workers can type, on average, at least 60 words per minute (wpmwpm). To test the claim, a random sample of 50 workers from the agency were given a typing test, and the average typing speed was 58.8 wpmwpm. A one-sample tt-test was conducted to investigate whether there is evidence that the mean typing speed of workers from the agency is less than 60 wpmwpm. The resulting pp-value was 0.267.

Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the pp-value?

The probability is 0.267 that the mean typing speed is 60 wpmwpm or more for workers from the agency.

A

The probability is 0.267 that the mean typing speed is 60 wpmwpm or less for workers from the agency.

B

The probability is 0.267 that the mean typing speed is 58.8 wpmwpm or less for workers from the agency.

C

If the mean typing speed of workers from the agency is 60 wpmwpm, the probability of selecting a sample of 50 workers with mean 58.8 wpmwpm or less is 0.267.

D

If the mean typing speed of workers from the agency is less than 60 wpmwpm, the probability of selecting a sample of 50 workers with mean 58.8 wpmwpm or less is 0.267.

E
