What price do farmers get for their watermelon crops? In the third week of July, a random sample of 41 farming regions gave a sample mean of = $6.88 per 100 pounds of watermelon. Assume that σ is known to be $2.00 per 100 pounds.

(a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean price (per 100 pounds) that farmers in this region get for their watermelon crop (in dollars). What is the margin of error (in dollars)? (For each answer, enter a number. Round your answers to two decimal places.)
