2. Homser Lake, Oregon, has an Atlantic salmon catch and release program that has been very successful. The average fisherman's catch has been over 8.8 Atlantic salmon per day. Suppose a new quota system restricting the number of fishermen has been put into effect this season. A random sample of 37 fisherman caught on average 8.9 fish per day. Based on a previous study, assume the population standard deviation is 4.03 fish per day. Use a 10% level of significance to test the claim that the average catch per day is now more than 8.8 Atlantic salmon. (10pts) Step 1 Ha.
