### a. Calculating the Confidence Interval
Use the one-mean z-interval procedure to find a confidence interval for the mean of the population from which the sample was drawn.
- **The confidence interval is from** [____] **to** [____].
*(Type integers or decimals rounded to one decimal place as needed.)*

### b. Determining the Length of the Confidence Interval
Obtain the margin of error by taking half the length of the confidence interval.
- **What is the length of the confidence interval?**
[____]
