The test scores of 20 students on a 100-point test were recorded:

- 72, 91, 92, 85, 73
- 75, 84, 84, 77, 58
- 83, 88, 65, 61, 73
- 79, 67, 64, 74, 86

### (a) Create a stem and leaf plot for the data.

To create a stem and leaf plot, organize the scores by tens (stem) and units (leaf):

#### Stem | Leaf
- 5 | 8  
- 6 | 1 4 5 7 
- 7 | 2 3 3 4 5 7 9  
- 8 | 3 4 4 6 8 
- 9 | 1 2 5

**Assumption**: Can you reasonably assume that these test scores have been selected from a normal population?
- Yes, the stem and leaf plot indicates that this is a reasonable assumption.
- No, the stem and leaf plot indicates that this is not a reasonable assumption.

### (b) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the scores.

- **Mean**: [Enter the calculated mean]
- **Standard Deviation**: [Enter the calculated standard deviation rounded to three decimal places]

### (c) Confidence Interval

If these students can be considered a random sample from the population of all students, find a 95% confidence interval for the average test score in the population. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

- From [Enter lower bound]
- To [Enter upper bound] 

This information outlines how students' scores are distributed and the statistical parameters that describe their performance.
