1. The random variable \(X\) denotes the yield, in kilograms per acre, of a certain crop. Under the standard treatment it is known that \(\mathrm { E } ( X ) = 38.4\). Under a new treatment, the yields of 50 randomly chosen regions can be summarised as $$n = 50 , \quad \sum x = 1834.0 , \quad \sum x ^ { 2 } = 70027.37 .$$ Test at the \(1 \%\) level whether there has been a change in the mean crop yield.
