Answer #1

A 98% confidence interval for a population mean is = (sample mean - margin of error, sample mean + margin of error)

Given

sample mean - margin of error = 31.4 ...(i)

sample mean + margin of error = 40.8 ...(ii)

a) Adding equation (i) and (ii), we get

2*sample mean = 31.4 + 40.8

b) Equation(ii) - Equation(i), we get

2*Margin of error = 40.8 - 31.4
