2. According to a presentation on the Asian Development Bank Economic Report on the FSM done in 2005, investment in the fishing industry, primarily tuna fishing, by the FSM resulted in a mean loss µ of 3.874 million dollars per year with a standard deviation σ of 2.938 million dollars per year. Presume that the data is normally distributed.
