Solution

The testable hypothesis for determining whether lack of sleep affects student test scores is: "Children who get a minimum of nine hours of sleep per night achieve higher test scores than children who get fewer than nine hours of sleep." This hypothesis directly addresses the concern of the school board and can be tested by comparing the test scores of students who get different amounts of sleep.
