With reference to the \(n=50\) interrequest time observations in Example 6, Chapter 2, which have mean 11,795 and standard deviation 14,056, what can one assert with \(95 \%\) confidence about the maximum error if \(\bar{x}=11,795\) is used as a point estimate of the true population mean inter-request time?
