The 99 percent confidence interval for the true mean length of the bolt is CI = (2.8712, 3.1288)

<h3>How to find the confidence interval?</h3>

Confidence Interval is used to tell us the degree of certainty or uncertainty that is existent in a sampling method.

The general formula for confidence interval is;

CI = x' ± z(s/√n)

where;

x' is sample mean

z is z-score at confidence level

s is sample standard deviation

n is sample size

We are given;

sample size; n = 36

Sample mean; x' = 3 inches

standard deviation; s = 0.3 inches

confidence level = 99%

z at 99% CL = 2.576

Thus;

CI = 3 ± 2.576(0.3/√36)

CI = 3 ± 0.1288

CI = (2.8712, 3.1288)
