In a particular community, it is claimed that the mean household water usage for a particular month is 45 cubic meters. The following year, a countrywide water conservation campaign was conducted. Forty nine homes were randomly selected and found that the mean consumption is 54 cubic meters with a standard deviation of 5 cubic meters. Is there enough evidence to say that the mean household water usage per month is higher than 45 cubic meters at a=0.01?
