A health expert evaluates the sleeping patterns of adults. Each
week she randomly selects 40 adults and calculates their
average sleep time. Over many weeks, she finds that 5% of
average sleep time is less than 3 hours and 5% of average
sleep time is more than 3.4 hours. What are the mean and
standard deviation (in hours) of sleep time for the population?
(Round "Mean" to 1 decimal places and "standard deviation"
to 3 decimal places.)
