5. The white wood material used for the roof of an ancient temple is imported from a certain country. The wooden roof must withstand as much as 100 centimeters of snow in the winter. Architects at a university conducted a study to estimate the mean bending strength of the white roof. A sample of 25 pieces of the imported wood were tested and yielded the statistics x = 74.5 and s = 10.3 on breaking strength (MPa). Estimate the true mean breaking strength of the white wood with a 99% confidence interval. Interpret the result.
