Does the tutoring program lift scores above 500?

The national mean on a standardized test is 500 with a known standard deviation of σ=100\sigma = 100. A tutoring company claims its program raises scores. A sample of 64 tutored students averages 520.

Run a one-sided z-test at the 5% level (do scores increase?): report the z-statistic and the decision.
