A study by the department of education of a certain state was trying to determine the mean SAT scores of the graduating high school seniors. The study examined the scores of a random sample of 130 graduating seniors and found the mean score to be 458 with a standard deviation of 105. At the 95% confidence level, use the normal distribution/empirical rule to estimate the margin of error for the mean, rounding to the nearest tenth.
