Fission tracks are trails found in uranium-bearing minerals, left by fragments released during fissionevents. The article “Yo-yo Tectonics of the Ni?de Massif During Wrenching in Central Anatolia” reports that fifteen tracks on one rock specimen had an average track length of 13 µm with a standard deviation of 2 µm. Assuming this to be a random sample from an approximately normal population, find a 99% confidence interval for the mean track length for this rock specimen.
