Twelve samples of coal from a Northern Appalachian source had an average mercury content of 0.253 ppm with a standard deviation of 0.029 ppm. Suppose the density of mercury content of coal from this source is approximately normally distributed. a. Find the LOWER bound of a 95% confidence interval for the mean mercury content of coal from this source. b. Find the UPPER bound of a 95% confidence for the mean mercury content of coal from this source.

In a large section of a statistics class, the points for the final exam are normally distributed, with a mean of 71and a standard deviation of 8. Grades are assigned such that the top 10% receive A's, the next 20% received B's, the middle 40% receive C's, the next 20% receive D's, and the bottom 10% receive F's. Find the lowest score on the final exam that would qualify a student for an A, a B, a C, and a D.
