Answer

margin of error = 0.016 and sample mean = 3.16

Work Step by Step

Find the width of the interval 3.176 - 3.144 = 0.032 Find the margin of error by dividing the interval width by two: 0.032/2 = 0.016 Subtract the margin of error from upper bound to find mean 3.176 - 0.016 = 3.16 Therefore, margin of error = 0.016 and sample mean = 3.16
