According to an advertisement, a strain of soybeans planted on soil prepared with a specified fertilizer treatment has a mean yield of 99 bushels per acre. Fifteen farmers who belong to a cooperative plant the soybeans in soil prepared as specified. Each uses a 40 -acre plot and records the mean yield per acre. The mean and variance for the sample of the 15 farms are $\bar { x } = 84$ and $s ^ { 2 } = 10,125$. Find the rejection region used for determining if the mean yield for the soybeans is not equal to 99 bushels per acre. Use $\alpha = .05$.
