Suppose the average size of a new house built in a certain county in 2006 was 2,195 square feet. A random sample of 25 new homes built in this county was selected in 2010. The average square footage was 2,272 with a sample standard deviation of 225 square feet. At α = 0.025, does this sample provide enough evidence to conclude that the average house size of a new home in the county has increased since 2006? Assume that the house size is approximately Normal.

average square footage was 2,272 with a sample standard deviation of 225 square feet. At α =
0.025, does this sample provide enough evidence to conclude that the average house size of a
new home in the county has increased since 2006? Assume that the house size is
approximately Normal.
