Answer:

The mean is of 33.6

The margin of error is of 5.2.

Explanation:

Confidence interval concepts:

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.

A confidence interval is symmetric, which means that the point estimate used is the mid point between these two bounds, that is, the mean of the two bounds.

In this question:

Lower bound: 28.4

Upper bound: 38.8

Mean

(28.4+38.8)/2 = 33.6.

The mean is of 33.6

Margin of error:

(38.8 - 28.4)/2 = 5.2

The margin of error is of 5.2.
