1. (Previous exam question) Over the past 50 years, an average of 370 minor earth tremors a day has been recorded in Northern California. Recently, over a period of nine days, the following number of minor tremors were recorded: 386, 394, 362, 423, 456, 370, 385, 430, 400 a) Is there evidence for a recent increase in the number of tremors (a ≤.05)? b) Based on the 9-day data, form a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean number of minor tremors that might be expected each day over the next several weeks.
