Based on interviews with 81 SARS patients, researchers found that the mean incubation period was 4.6 days, with a standard deviation of 15.1 days. Based on this information, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean incubation period of the SARS virus. Interpret the interval. The lower bound is days. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
