1. Water Usage
Problem Statement: Data indicates that household water usage per day is at most 360 gallons, on
the average. It is of interest to determine whether this is still true today.
Hypotheses:

Ho: μ ≤ 360; The mean daily household water usage is less than or equal to 360 gallons.
Ha: μ > 360; The mean daily household water usage is greater than 360 gallons.
Type I error (rejecting a true null hypothesis): The test result shows that mean daily household
water usage is greater than 360 gallons, but it is less than or equal to 360 gallons.
Type II error (fail to reject a false null hypothesis): The test result shows that mean daily
household water usage is less than or equal to 360 gallons, but it is greater than 360 gallons.
