Answer:

2.5th percentile and the 97.5th percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025$

So we obtain the 0.025*100 = 2.5th percentile and the (1-0.025)*100 = 97.5th percentile.

So the answer is:

2.5th percentile and the 97.5th percentile.
