The question as text

In the past the time, in minutes, taken for a particular rail journey has been found to have mean 20.5 and standard deviation 1.2. Some new railway signals are installed. In order to test whether the mean time has decreased, a random sample of 100 times for this journey are noted. The sample mean is found to be 20.3 minutes. You should assume that the standard deviation is unchanged.
