In a study, a random sample of 25 specimens collected within a mile downwind from a certain factory contained on the average 2.6 micrograms of suspended benzene-soluble organic matter per cubic meter with standard deviation of 0.60. If 2.6 is used as an estimate of the mean of the population sampled, what can be said with 99 percent confidence about the maximum error?
