A personnel manager has found that, historically, the scores on aptitude tests given to applicants for entry-level positions follow a normal distribution with standard deviation 21.5 points. A random sample of 15 test scores from the current group of applicants had a mean score of 68.86 points. Based on these sample results, a statistician found for the population mean a confidence interval extending from 59.4783 to 78 2417 points. Find the confidence level (as a value between zero and one) of this interval
