Answer 6

a confidence interval is usually divide about the mean, half of it is to one side and the other half on the other side.

what is 96/2?

Answer 7

I do have that chart 96/2 would be 48 where do I go from there?

Answer 8

this tells us how far away from 50 we need to be; the value of the mean is 50 and we want to be half on each side of it

50 + 48 = 98

look in the field for the closest value to .9800
