Statistical Inference — confidence coefficient for a shifted exponential threshold

Let x1,x2,…,xnx_1,x_2,…,x_n be a random sample from e−(x−θ)e^{-(x-\theta)}, x≥θx\ge\theta, θ>0\theta>0. What is the confidence coefficient of the interval (x(1)−ln⁡4n, x(1)+ln⁡2n)\left(x_{(1)}-\frac{\ln4}{n},\,x_{(1)}+\frac{\ln2}{n}\right) for θ\theta, where x(1)=min⁡(x1,x2,…,xn)x_{(1)}=\min(x_1,x_2,…,x_n)?
