Can somebody please help me with the following word problem? I am confused and don't know how to figure this out.

The admissions counselors at Brainy University believe that the freshman class they have just recruited is the brightest yet. If they want to test this belief (that the freshman are brighter than the other classes), what are the null and alternative hypotheses? Is this a one-tailed hypotheses test or a two-tailed hypotheses test?
