Let $0.57<\mu<4.69$ represent an interval on the number line. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) Find the value that is in the middle of the interval. The value is (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) (b) Find the distance from the middle of the interval to either endpoint. The distance is (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

Step 1 ：Let \(0.57<\mu<4.69\) represent an interval on the number line.

Step 2 ：To find the middle of the interval, we need to calculate the average of the two endpoints. This can be done by adding the two endpoints and dividing by 2. So, \((0.57 + 4.69) / 2 = 2.63\).

Step 3 ：To find the distance from the middle of the interval to either endpoint, we subtract the smaller endpoint from the middle value. So, \(2.63 - 0.57 = 2.06\).

Step 4 ：Final Answer: The value in the middle of the interval is \(\boxed{2.63}\) and the distance from the middle of the interval to either endpoint is \(\boxed{2.06}\).
