The mean time required to repair breakdowns of a certain copying machine is 93 minutes. The company which manufactures the machines claims that breakdowns of its new, improved model are easier to fix. To test this claim, a sample of 18 breakdowns of the new model were observed, resulting in a mean repair time of 88.8 minutes and a standard deviation of 16.6 minutes. Use significance level a = 0.05. State clearly what are your null and alternative hypotheses, show your work, and state your conclusion
