Suppose that a random sample of 13 adults has a mean score of 64 on a standardized personality test, with a standard deviation of 4. (A higher score indicates a more personable participant.) If we assume that scores on this test are normally distributed, find a 95% confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test. Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal...

A local agriculture producer had a wheat yield last year of 72 bushels per acre. The producer had an unusually productive year. The normal wheat yield on this particular farm is 38 bushels per acre with a variance (σ2) of 16 bushels per acre. What is the probability that the wheat yield this year will be within one standard deviation (±) of the mean? Hint: think Empirical Rule.
