Question:
A team of soil scientists investigated the water retention properties of soil cores sampled from an uncropped field consisting of silt loam (Soil Science, Jan. 1995). At a pressure of .1 megapascal (MPa), the water content of the soil (measured in cubic meters of water per cubic meter of soil) was determined to be approximately normally distributed with μ = .27 and σ = .04. In addition to water content readings at a pressure of .1 MPa, measurements were obtained at pressures 0, .005, .01, .03, and 1.5 MPa. Consider a soil core with a water content reading of .14. Is it likely that this reading was obtained at a pressure of .1 MPa? Explain.
