100. Once a month samples of sea level from Key West, FL in 2016 had a mean level of 0.113m and
standard deviation of 0.0492m. Ten years earlier, once a month samples of sea level in the same
location had mean of 0.014m and standard deviation 0.0373m. Researchers wish to estimate the
change in mean sea level in Key West from 2006 to 2016 with 95% confidence.
