A quality control manager at a factory wants to estimate the average length of bolts produced by a new machine. The standard deviation (\( \sigma \)) of the bolt lengths is known to be 0.1 mm. She takes a random sample of 50 bolts (\( n = 50 \)) and finds the sample mean (\( \overline{x} \)) is 50.5 mm. Using the formula below, where \( z = 1.96 \) is the z-score corresponding to the 95% confidence level, compute the 95% confidence interval for the true mean bolt length. Formula: \(\text{Confidence Interval} = \bar{x} \pm z \left(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right)\)
