he Boston public school district has had difficulty maintaining on-time bus service for its students. 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, 10 minutes late. After the schedule adjustment, the first 36 runs were an average of eight minutes late. As a result, the Boston public school district claimed that the schedule adjustment was an improvement using a two tailed test—students were not as late. Assume a population standard deviation for bus arrival time of 10 minutes. The test statistic is 1.20 based on this and an alpha of .05 which of the following statements is not correct?
