In the article “The World’s Longest Continued Series of Sea Level Observations” (M. Ekman, Paleogeography, 1988:73–77), the mean annual level of land uplift in Stockholm, Sweden, was estimated to be \(4.93\pm0.23\mathrm{\ mm}\) for the years 1774–1884 and to be \(3.92 \pm 0.19\mathrm{\ mm}\) for the years 1885–1984. Estimate the difference in the mean annual uplift between these two time periods, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.

ANSWER:
Answer :
Step 1 of 2 :
Given,
The mean annual level of land uplift in Stockholm, Sweden was estimated to be
4.93 0.23 mm for the year 1774 - 1884 and for the year 1885 - 1984 is 3.92
0.19 mm
The claim is to find the difference in the mean annual uplift between these two time periods
And also find the uncertainty of the estimate.
