An insurance company, based on past experience, estimates the mean damage for a natural disaster in its area is $5,000. After introducing several plans to prevent loss, it randomly samples 200 policy holders and finds the mean amount per claim was $4,800 with a standard deviation of $1,300, Does it appears the prevention plans were effective in reducing the mean amount of a claim? Use the significance level.
