Probability of a sample mean given a certain sampling distribution


Past data has led a certain city to believe its ER response time to 911 calls in minutes is N(9.25, 2.25). An independent auditor has selected a sample of 9 response times for the last month and found them to have a mean of 10 minutes.

Is there strong evidence that the mean for all calls has increased?

What if the sample included 100 audited responses?
