Sample mean water use per day problem

Reference no: EM1385686

The American Water Works Association reports that the per capita water use in a single family home is 79 gallons per day. Legacy Ranch is a relatively new housing development consisting of 100 homes. The builders installed more efficient water fixtures, such as low flush toilets, and subsequently conducted a survey of the residences. Thirty homes responded, and the sample mean water use per day was 77 gallons with a standard deviation of 9.0 gallons per day.

At the .025 level of significance, is that enough evidence to conclude that residents of Legacy Ranch use less water on average?
