Do you drink the recommended amount of water each day? Most Americans don't! On average, Americans drink 4.4 eight-oz servings of water a day. A sample of 30 education professionals was randomly selected and their water consumption for a 24-hour period was monitored; the mean amount consumed was 37.8 oz.

Use ? = .05.
