A survey of the average amount of cents off that coupons give was done by randomly surveying one coupon per page from the coupon sections of a recent San Jose Mercury News. The following data were collected: 15; 70; 55; 65; 30; 55; 40; 40; 30; 55; $1.50; 40; 65; 40. Assume the underlying distribution is approximately normal. sx = n = n − 1 =
