Calculating the Sample Size n: Continuous and Binary Random Variables · Exercise 52

The American Community Survey (ACS), part of the United States Census Bureau, conducts a yearly census similar to the one taken every ten years, but with a smaller percentage of participants. The most recent survey estimates with 90% confidence that the mean household income in the U.S. falls between $69,720 and $69,922. Find the point estimate for mean U.S. household income and the error bound for mean U.S. household income.

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
