Question: Following a brushfire, a forester takes core samples from the ten surviving Bigcone Douglas-fir trees in a test plot within the burn area, and a dendrochronology’s determines the age of the source trees to be as follows (in years):

15 38 48 67 81 83 94 102 135 167

Calculate the sample mean and standard deviation for the age of Bigcone Douglas-fir trees based on the data above. If this accurately represents the population mean and standard deviation for the age of surviving Bigcone Douglas-fir trees in the burn area, what is the probability that a randomly selected surviving Bigcone Douglas-fir tree from the burn area will be less than 0 years old? Round to the nearest hundredth. Based on this result, is it logical to assume that the population of age of surviving Bigcone Douglas-fir trees in the burn area is normally distributed with the parameters identified. Why or why not (0.5 point)?
