Write a correct null and alternative hypothesis that tests the claim that the
mean distance a student commutes to campus is no less than 9.3 miles. 

The null hypothesis is just what is claimed as the status quo, namely
that the mean distance a student commutes to campus is no less than 9.3 miles

Ho: m ≧ 9.3

The alternative hypothesis is the claimed that the null hypothesis, the status
quo, is false, that is the mean distance a student commutes to campus is less
than 9.3 miles

Ha: m < 9.3
