Answer

margin of error = 4.27 and sample mean = 25.88

Work Step by Step

1) Find the width of the interval 30.15 - 21.61 = 8.54 2) Find the margin of error by dividing the width by two: $\frac{8.54}{2}$ = 4.27 3) Subtract the margin of error from upper bound to find mean 30.15 - 4.27 = 25.88 Therefore, margin of error = 4.27 and sample mean = 25.88
