For these data, x-7, 2(x,-x) 142, and s-4.6098. (a) Develop a 95% confidence interval for the mean annual sales (in thousands of dollars) for all salespersons with nine years of experience. (Round your answers to two decimal places) thousand to $ thousand (b) The company is considering hiring Tom Smart, a salesperson with nine years of experience.
