An obstetrician read that a newborn baby loses on average 7 ounces in the first two days

Question:

An obstetrician read that a newborn baby loses on average 7 ounces in the first two days of his or her life. He feels that in the hospital where he works, the average weight loss of a newborn baby is less than 7 ounces. A random sample of 32 newborn babies has a mean weight loss of 6.5 ounces. The population standard deviation is 1.8 ounces. Is there enough evidence at α = 0.01 to support his claim?
