Confidence coefficient of an interval based on the sample minimum

Let X1,…,XnX_1,…,X_n be a random sample from a population with density

f(x,μ)={eμ−x,x>μ, 0,otherwise,f(x,\mu)=\begin{cases}e^{\mu-x}, & x>\mu,\ 0, & \text{otherwise,}\end{cases}

and let X(1)=min⁡{X1,X2,…,Xn}X_{(1)}=\min\{X_1,X_2,…,X_n\}. Then (X(1)−2nlog⁡e5,X(1))\left(X_{(1)}-\frac2n\log_e5, X_{(1)}\right) is a ____________% confidence interval for μ\mu.
