The Boston public school district has had difficulty maintaining on-time bus service for its students ("A Year Later, School Buses Still Late," Boston Globe, October 5, 2011). Suppose the district develops a new bus schedule to help combat chronic lateness on a particularly woeful route. Historically, the bus service on the route has been, on average, 12 minutes late. After the schedule adjustment, the first 36 runs were an average of 8 minutes late. As a result, the Boston public school district claimed that the schedule adjustment was an improvement-students were not as late. Assume a population standard deviation for bus arrival time of 12 minutes.

Develop the null and alternative hypotheses to determine whether the schedule adjustment reduced the average lateness time of 12 minutes.
