Warming and Ice Melt The average depth of the Hudson Bay is 305 feet. Climatologists were interested in seeing if the effects of warming and ice melt were affecting the water level. Fifty-five measurements over a period of weeks yielded a sample mean of 306.2 feet. The population variance is known to be 3.57. Can it be concluded at the 0.05 level of significance that the average depth has increased? Is there evidence of what caused this to happen
