Researchers know that the distribution of the number of eggs in a robin's nest is normally distributed, but are concerned that the mean number of eggs per nest of robin's eggs has decreased from the mean of 4.8 eggs measured 10 years ago. They send out teams to locate and randomly select 20 nests and count the number of eggs in each nest. The team calculated a mean of 4.5 and a standard deviation of 0.7 eggs per nest. Is there evidence at the 0.05 significance level that the mean number of eggs per robin's nest has decreased over the past 10 years?
