To determine the critical value$t*$from Table $B$with $99\%$confidence interval for the population mean.

The sample size was reduced by $1$degree of freedom.

Where, sample size n is$58$.
$$\begin{gathered} df=n-1 \\ =58-1 \\ =57 \end{gathered}$$
Because there is no row with$df=57$in table $B,$use the row with the smallest degrees of freedom that is closest to$df=57$:
$df=50$
Table $B$contains the critical value $t^{*}$in the row with $df=50$and the column with$(1-c)/2=0.005$:
$t^{*}=2.678$

A less accurate degrees of freedom will lead to significant in the confidence interval being more than $99\%$confident of containing the true population mean as the critical value is larger. Using technology ( sample like Student's t-Distribution calculator) with$df=57$and $2P(X>x)=0.01$, then users receive $x=2.665$, and therefore the more accurate critical value is $t*=2.665$.
The benefit of more accurate degrees of freedom is that the confidence interval will be more accurate as well, so the $99\%$confidence interval will be $99\%$confident of containing the true population mean of an SRS of size $58$.

Therefore, $99\%$of the confidence interval contains the true population mean.
